About bir(d)severance

Yesterday I received in my inbox an email with a ppt slideshow with some nice pictures of birds and an accompanying text. The text was refering to how birds build their nests, twig after twig, carrying them some distance. What happens when a wind or another cause destroys the nest? What they do is - they begin again and go for one twig after another until they re-build their nest. They don't languish in sadness, nostalgy, regrets, anger, disappointment - as much as we know at least. They follow their vision and re-build.
That message, so simple, was however a "just-in-time" for me, since I was mourning a disappointment from the day before. Then I thought - if a bird can do it, why can't I?
I shared this with a few and they liked it so much, that I decided to share it with you.

That´sa perfect thoughtIsabel.
Animals proceed the way you wrote
in your message.
Why don´t we, human´s do it automatically?
Is it because our brain not only observes what happens,but at the samettime it is able to "observe" what it observes!
We can analize our attitude.
What´s wrong with it?
It must be a a short-time-memory and living.
The intuitive possibilities are blocked by stress or anti-nature timing.
Remember: what we are constructing in life is not only for our perhaps 100 years,but also for the next generations. We leave examples.
Like Examples given by millions of human beings who lost everything as well in the 1st or 2nd war - helps us to think about...
