 Here’s the classic moral story version people usually mean:



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.)

Ever wonder; for a moment; how every word is inter connected with the next or the previous one.  Making sense out of the whole, requires connecting every word to the meaning of the rest. every-thing is relative to everything else,  meaning,  everything, without exception.   Thinking in terms of time; only one thing comes to mind, that time is just an illusion. 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) Keeping this idea in mind, one can imagine a variety of scenarios where the relativity factor always plays the mai...
