The Crow Imitating the Pigeon’s Walk

A crow once saw a pigeon walking gracefully near some houses and being fed by people. The crow thought the pigeon’s life was easy and happy. Wanting the same comfort, the crow began to imitate the pigeon’s walk.


Day after day, the crow practiced walking like the pigeon. But it could not do it properly. Worse, it slowly forgot its own way of walking. When the crow finally tried to return to its old life, it couldn’t walk like a crow anymore—nor like a pigeon.

Ashamed and helpless, the crow realized its mistake.

Moral

Do not imitate others blindly; be yourself.

(Also said as: Trying to copy others makes you lose your own identity.)

One can only look to see clearly beyond the obvious, and to understand that only true vision with a powerful mind can reach the level of realization. The measure of understanding required for achieving the goal is almost the same as reaching it; without being aware of the time needed to accomplish it (the goal) It is safe to conclude the kind of comprehension that goes beyond one's ability, and capacity to reach a definitive mindset. All that aside; there is always and will be a minute spark of doubt illuminating the way to reason for self-reasoning.
