Exploration vs. Hesitation

If you watch a bird in its natural habitat, you will notice that it flies from one branch to another, stopping briefly on each, before finding the one it chooses to sit on for a longer time. It makes you think of some human beings who move from one idea to another, from one belief to another, from one 'leader' to another, but without seemingly never finding the one they want to stay with. Checking out on how to proceed before making a decision or a commitment is certainly wise. Nevertheless, while birds spend their whole life flying about, because that is their nature, for sensible human beings things should be different. It's smart to evaluate new ideas, explore different ways, look into diverse ideologies, but not forever. Whoever does so will be like a flamingo standing on one leg. The only difference is that such position is natural as well as temporary for a flamingo, while for a human being chronic indecisiveness might end up crippling their life.  *
