For me, the best classroom in the world is nature and the best lessons come from watching animals in their natural habitats.
For example, animals don't skulk around trying to make themselves look smaller than they are; they stand tall and proud, even when faced with danger. When threatened by a predator, they make themselves look as big as possible and gather in groups so it's hard to tell where one animal ends and the next begins.
Animals have these behaviors innately. So why don't people? So many of us try to make ourselves look smaller than we are and try to hide from situations. When faced with problems, many of us isolate ourselves rather than turning to friends. Many of us don't stand tall and proud.
Don't you sometimes wonder what's happened to make us turn our backs on behaviors that, in the animal kingdom, are necessary to our survival?
Stand tall and proud.
Thank you so much for your comment. It's always good to hear from people who are touched by what I write.
