Why Birds Rejected Regulations

Band-tailed Pigeon, Who Agreed to Appear in This Post
Long ago, when everything was being sorted out, the birds met to make a critical decision about regulations.
Their question was: “Do we need rules to guide how we live?”
Of course, the birds realized the benefit of having rules: They can facilitate order.
Being wise, the birds also considered the implications of having a system of rules.
First, enforcing rules would require special systems.
Second, having rules could favor some while harming others.
Third, choosing rules could lead to arguments.
Fourth, enforcing rules could require complicated procedures.
Fifth, remembering rules would require large brains.
So, the birds decided upon a simpler system.
Values.
And now the question was: What value would best serve to preserve the continuation of birds?
After a great amount of thought, they choose Cooperation.
In this case, it’s cooperation with Nature. Because birds are as much a part of Nature as Nature is part of them.
So when birds care for Nature, they care for themselves.
And this value is so basic, so fundamental, so simple, it could be instinctive. Then no one would need to worry about remembering it.
Much success,
