SEC-S16-W2 | For The Birds

Hello friends! I must admit this is the first time I've seen this fantastic computer-animated video! Forgive my manners I hope my entry finds you well ❤️‍🩹 this video is not just hilarious 😂 but it's full of valuable life lessons. After I meditated on it I came to appreciate difference the more! What do I mean? Stay tuned as I will tell you in the next paragraphs.

We are different in so many ways, colour, size, ethnicity, race, beliefs, values, intelligence, interest, ability, age, mental /physical ability, gender, religion etc. But we must accept the differences which will always exist because this life will be so boring if we all see it from the same perspective or viewpoint, there will be nothing to look forward to, but you see the colour in the world makes life beautiful to admire. And the differences in us make room for us to learn from others and grow, yes we must appreciate different viewpoints because it's essential for our learning and growth.

We shouldn't be like the small identical birds who were having problems with themselves and couldn't get along with one another. When the large dopey friendly bird tries to be friend with them, they gang up against him, making a mockery of the large dopey bird and even threw it down, but In the end all of them fall off the telephone pole and their feathers fall off and the small identical birds hide in shame.

The Lesson:

• Prejudice is unacceptable.

• Look past stereotypes, and appreciate diversity.

• We shouldn't make fun of others because they are different from us, maybe because of their skin or hair colour, language, ethnicity or race. We shouldn't make a mockery of them, gossipping or worst still bullying them because the end may be embarrassing for us rather we should be kind and friendly with all and learn from them in the process and grow!

So next time we see fellow people having different perspectives on certain things, we shouldn't condemn them rather we should acknowledge their differences and most importantly we can learn from the particular situation, we should welcome 🤗 strangers and make them feel at home, treat people the way we would love to be treated.

Next time don't feel reluctant to stand out from the crowd, do not be afraid to share your point of view with others simply because your opinion is different, Or not in consonant with others. Note, that your opinion is different doesn't make Other's right or wrong, it's because our life experiences differ.

Do you know someone who has had a similar case happen to them in real life, tell us! (Do not tell the movie)

Of course, my elder Sister told me that she was very young and small when she started high school and because of her size some of her classmates used to bully her, she was scared but thank goodness she confided in our parents and they told her how to beat the bully without using her fist. As usual, the bully came around and she wasn't scared of her, instead, she looked right into her eyes and told her that she would tell the school principal about her if she tried it again. The girl was so ashamed of herself and everyone laughed at her. In the end, she was embarrassed!

Let's appreciate the diversities around us and stand out for growth. Hello @mesola @eliany and @bossj23 share your opinions with us.
