Of Tigers and Eagles

Have you ever read the stories of the tiger who was raised among sheep and the eagle who was raised among chickens? At the beginning they are similar: both grow up believing to be - respectively - a sheep and a chicken. The ending is quite different, though. While confronted with the truth of their real nature, the tiger trusted the evidence and started to behave like a tiger, while the eagle didn't accept to take such idea into consideration and went on believing she was a chicken. The symbolism of such stories is evidently referred to all human beings: them, me, "you"! Can you accept the idea, or even just the possibility, that you are much more than you believe you are? Can you perceive the beauty, the goodness, the love that exist in the depth of your being? Worth thinking it over!
