but i cannot fly
Bertramthedog t1_j8f58cr wrote
Its obv. When you sit on a bench, do you trust the bench to not break or do you trust your ass to fly?
/s I find it pretty profound tbh. It's about confidence in one's self and abilities; to not worry of unforeseen circumstances when you know you can rise above them.

Happiness/confidence doesn’t come from knowing things won’t fall apart. It comes from knowing you can pick yourself up if they do.

Victor Hugo Quotes
Be like the bird who, pausing in her flight awhile on boughs too slight, feels them give way beneath her, and yet sings, knowing she hath wings.

Go ask the squirrels that fell out of my tree all the time. They had way more trust in the branches.

Then I recommend that you not sit on a branch.

A bird sitting on a tree is never afraid of a branch breaking, because it’s a bird

Nothing but trust in those branches. They're always falling in my backyard hahah
Sonyguyus t1_j8gqk6u wrote
And they’ll run back up the tree like they didn’t hurt or embarrass themselves in front of the other squirrels. They really shit themselves when they fall while my dogs are in the backyard.

A bird sitting on a tree is never afraid of a branch breaking because he’s more afraid of the hawk that may be coming. Priorities people.

If only we could all be birds, blessed with the innate ability to fly. Unfortunately gifts like that are not innate for many people.

Unfortunately humans aren't birds and are beholden to other humans, which means no matter how hard you try if the world doesn't want you to improve you won't improve.

Well, what if they're the kind of person who has to see to believe? They went up the tree to see for themselves.

Always thought it was because the bird wasn't heavy enough to snap the branch lol
