Duncan Nugget #320: Squabbling Over Crumbs
Three birds were sitting on a branch. They were starving. A bakery truck passes by and
off falls a loaf of bread. When the loaf hits the ground a piece of the crust breaks off
into crumbs.
The birds swooped down and started squawking and squabbling over the crumbs. Feathers were
flying and beaks were pecking. One bird even lost an eye. Never did it dawn on these idiots
that there was a whole loaf sitting nearby.
Unfortunately, people can be like that too.
They squabble over pettiness, toxic relationships, and dead-end careers that are nothing but
crumbs.
If you are starving for happiness and fulfillment it makes no sense to squabble over anything
that keeps you focused on the crumbs of life.
Step back. Take a look around. There's a whole loaf sitting nearby.
Million Dollar Question: Are you squabbling over crumbs or striving
for the whole loaf?
