The Peacock and the Pigeon


Did that catch your attention? I wouldn't blame you; it's a rather aesthetically pleasing sight. The peacock is a beautiful, graceful creature whom many are fascinated by. 


Now take a look at this:



















A pigeon. It's not nearly as magnificent as the peacock, is it? One would be mad to claim that it is more beautiful - or would they?

While the peacock sits on the ground, the pigeon is in flight, freeing itself of any tension. While the peacock's beauty masks how dull it really is, the pigeon's plain appearance masks how charming it truly is. One bird stands on earth, never achieving its dreams; for what is a bird without wings? The other soars in the sky, finally finding paradise.

Now the choice is yours to make: What is true beauty?
