DON'T Be An Ostrich Who Buries its Head in the Sand
For a change, let's slightly veer towards the ostrich but not to dissect its anatomy but rather to wet our appetite to the fact that An Ostrich Buries its Head in the Sand. So, who wants to be an Ostrich? But not to be defensive, I'm quite sure not one of us would want to but what happens if we replicate that habit of the Ostrich Burying its Head in the Sand? And before we castigate the poor Ostrich, why do they bury their head in the sand? It's their habit when nesting or when they want to avoid or get threatened by predators.Oh Oh, not a valid reason for us humans to borrow, right?But are we aware that several times [and for some, probably many times] in our life, we are very much akin to the Ostrich that buries its head in the sand? How many times we made fumbling acts and when we had to face the consequences, we were like the Ostrich that buries its head in the sand? Or when we were confronted to right the wrong but we turned a deaf ear and a blind eye? Or when we know we erred but refused to accept and make a 'mea culpa'?
OR when you offended or hurt someone but to rub salt on the open wound, you DON'T only accept the mistake but worse you are NOT even remorseful. OR when you have a real problem, a damn crisis on your hands but you refused to accept the fact that you're beset with that crisis.
OR when all you need to look at things wide-eyed but you would rather look at the other direction? OR when you are staring at potential red flags but you just shrugged it off? OR when you owe your spouse/partner an explanation but with your bloated EGO & PRIDE all rolled into one, you end up so callous and insensitive because your selfishness prevails over you
So, what could be your end point here? Not to be riding on the coattails of Nostradamus but it's likely that one day, you will find yourself walking right through the all-welcoming mouth of the unforgiving crocodile who'll just feast on you till it squeezes the very last drop and drip of blood from you. So, please let us not be an Ostrich who buries its head in the sandπππ
