Parable About a Small Grey Bird
Recently I read a very interesting parable. Looks like the main character of it is quite recognisable. What do you think?
Large white birds were flying south in order to build their nests there. Along the way they met a little grey bird.
"Hey, little grey bird, fly to the south with us",offered a large white bird.
"Yeah-ah-ah", said the little grey bird in whiny voice, "you are so big, you'll make it, and I am so small, little, grey... I can't..."
"Nothing",- said the large white bird, "we'll put you on our powerful wings and help you fly to the south".
"Yeah-ah-ah", said the little grey bird, "you are so big, you'll arrive, and then easily build your nests in a new place, and I am so little... How can I build a nest?"
"Nothing," said the big white birds, "we'll help you build a nest in a new place".
" Yeah-ah-ah," said the little grey bird, "you are so big, so beautiful, you'll fly to the south, you will build your nests and find a mate in order to hatch eggs, and I am so small, so grey... Will I be able to find a mate?"
"Nothing", said the big white birds, "we will help get you a couple, the same little bird like you."
"Yeah-ah-ah," said the little grey bird," you are so big, you'll fly to the south, build nests there, then there will be chicks and you can easily feed them, and I am a little grey bird, I have nothing to feed my chicks.
"OK...", I said the large white birds and flew away to the south.

Don't be a little grey bird. If you want to achieve something, then do it. Stop complaining.

I like that part about when a girl tells you about her problems, don't complain that she is complaining. I appreciate that she has a shoulder to lean on. Nice post.
