Description
Often teachers, educators or even our parents enunciated a saying, to clarify an idea.
However sometimes this same saying had implied the denial of the idea that they wanted to inculcate.
For example this: "The early bird gets the worm", to make clear the benefits of working and the benefits of not being overcome by laziness.
However, they never realized the implication: "The early worm gets caught by the bird" which proved that to be a lazy worm has huge advantages.

Depending on whether one is interested in worm or bird ! funny text and excellent capture !
It is also the anglers saying: The early worm catches the fish. Super photo and clever words.
I love the way your mind works!!
That sure is a different kind of bird never seen them in this color great capture of it.

So true, So true. :))))) If only the worm had stayed asleep just a tad longer. LOL!!!!! This is a very cute bird. :)))) Getting ready to feed her babies. :)))) Most excellent capture my friend. :))))) Thank you for sharing all of the beauty you see. :)))))) Carry A Sunshine Smile In Your Heart :)))))
lovely capture.
Your story also illustrates another closely related issue. That people readily believe the simple twaddle of their leaders rather than thinking about the full implication of what they are being told. If we gave more thought to what we are being fed we would not be lead into such stupid problems, which then require more complex solutions than we are now prepared to give.
I like this photo my friend and the way you framed it in the branches. Remember that the 'early' bird also has a family to feed before S/he can eat.
Very nice capture :)
