The Love of the Mother Bird


Does the mother bird lay her eggs and fly away?

Does she leave once her chicks have been introduced to the nest?

No. Once her chicks are born, they are her life, and she doesn't expect pay.

From now on, her life will be devoted to giving her chicks her best.

 

Take this example to heart and give this advice your attention.

Use this knowledge to make your relationships impress.

How to avoid a life full of stress and contention:

selflessness is the key to your success.

 

The mother bird could be off doing fun bird things, like courting or traveling,

but instead she spends her time cleaning up droppings and finding food.

Her little chicks don't know it yet, but she is the only thing keeping them from dying,

and someday, they will grow up to be the protectors of their own little brood.

 

Just as the selflessness of the mother bird allows the growth of offspring who will forbear generations,

so does the selflessnesss of any person in a relationship give that relationship the chance to endure.

Love is best shown through laying down one's self for others, and deserves great adoration .

Relationships are healthiest when they are not self-seeking; without individuals seeking to procure.
