Be A Flamingo In A Flock Of Pidgeons

Be A Flamingo In A Flock Of Pidgeons

Good day folks.  Our thread today is NOT about Omithology [that branch of Zoology that concerns studies of birds, not at all BUT instead, we really wish many of us to Be A Flamingo In A Flock Of Pidgeons because not to devalue pidgeons but we do see them almost everyday everywhere and although they're beautiful birds, they appear to be dull and uninteresting.  True, as pidgeons habituate to living in human presence, they DON'T show any signs of fear even in close proximity to people BUT let's admit that they can be annoying and dirty and worse, they are disease-carrying. So, why can't we be a FLAMINGO❓❓❓

Why a FLAMINGO?  Being a FLAMINGO is akin to being different from the rest of the people.  Obviously being different can mean many different things.  A FLAMINGO can be considered as a symbol of something extraordinary, unusual, rare, interesting, amazing inspiring, visible worth the respect and as well as attention.  WHEREAS pidgeons symbolize the complete opposite.  They symbolize the ordinary, plain, usual, common, uninteresting everyday thing, uninspiring and end [sometimes] up deserving for disregard and worse disrespect.  DON'T get me wrong though, I'm NOT voting for flamingos because even with pidgeons, there are many blessings in being just plain, common and ordinary as well.  In a nutshell, the pidgeons would offer that PEACE of MIND and much-needed security📌📌📌

You might wonder now, am I making a 180-degree turnaround?  No sirrrrs, not really.  But why are we mixing things up with the FLAMINGO?  Simple.  Being a FLAMINGO in the midst of pidgeons means that you stand out in a crowd.  Be UNIQUE and DON'T be afraid to express your individuality.  It DOESN'T mean that you should be vulgar and shock people with your appearance or your behavior.  We just want you to be EXTRAORDINARY AMONG THE ORDINARY.  Be an ORIGINAL AMONG MANY COPIES⏳⏳⏳

This is NO sweeping statement but our [human] problem is that many of us do have that FLOCK MENTALITY and they desire to be part of a crowd. They enjoy the SECURITY it offers and indeed most people are afraid to STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD.  They COPY the ones they consider their leaders in some way.  Most people are FOLLOWERS and they need that ROLE MODEL to look up and with social media, it's SO EASY for people to COPY one another, whew❗❗❗

So, the $64 question is:  WOULD YOU RATHER REMAIN ORDINARY?  Or, ARE YOU WILLING TO DO THAT LITTLE EXTRA PUSH TO BE EXTRAORDINARY [just like the FLAMINGO]?  True, it takes a strong character and personality to be that different from the crowd. BUT again, do temper with moderation that uniqueness to STAND OUT from the crowd because people may shy away from you.  Note that there is a THIN LINE between demonstrating your TRUE SELF like a FLAMINGO versus being as ordinary as the pidgeon✅✅✅
