I really had no interest in animals, but my husband wanted me to be the National Geographic series, airing every night would be seen. "What if I sit next to you and read while you see them?" No, he wanted me to watch it with him. "Ok," I found myself.
I have some popcorn and we settled in the first segment, the history of the lioness, that a researcher had pursued for some time. We saw how they gave birth to two boys, and followed them throughtheir daily search for food and for all the things that do lionesses. We really know "the lioness, and when one was killed the boys, I was so touched on the emotions of the mother and the other cub that she tears into her eyes. I had to admit, this was a beautiful animal, and after several episodes I was in love with her.
The next section was floating on exotic fish at the bottom of the ocean. The colors of the fish and the plants were gorgeous,and we were amazed at the idea that only in this century, technology had evolved to the point where a man photographed in the depth and the beautiful world down there, could rise, which until now has remained hidden from human eyes. I was fascinated.
Then we saw a number of beautiful birds in remote places, so beautiful that they evoke grab a first glance at. I have never had such before, and was really at the thought of the beauty of the world, of which I am humbledhad not a clue. Of course, my husband was quick to inform me that in the animal kingdom the male is the fairer sex.
I began to understand why he enjoyed this animal adventure. The more I looked, the more I was excited to see everything, and every evening we were until we saw the entire series.
But my awe turned to shock one night when she began a series on the warthog. Yes, Warthog, and it is aptly named! There are no mitigating quality, notbeautiful words that could be said about the warthog - it is an ugly and disgusting creature! It began with the birth of a warthog and I noticed that this is the first time that I have is the young of all species that have not seen lovable. I was shocked and disappointed that might have won my admiration, National Geographic now insult to my sensibilities, and shows us the horrible nasty beast. After the majesty of the lion saw the beauty of the fish in the deep, and the wonderfulPlumage exquisite bird life - why on earth they would have to spend time shooting an animal as cruel as ugly as this one!
That thought stayed with me, however, and the next day I went to work, I began to wonder why God, who could something so stately, like a lion to create - would be something as repulsive as a wart hog with it all? I wondered this about all the way to work. And in the next day I found me coming, that the whole of creation includes the complete spectrum of good to recognize,ugly, by the will of the designer!
We are creatures of comfort. We love to have our senses delighted. Who among us has not been averted, if done on a monarch butterfly? Who among us has not pleased when a seagull comes close to take a piece of bread from our hands? I've even I found myself talking watch ants build their little houses, complete with tunnels.
But a warthog? It was hard to come with an apology. Certainly, Inot to the designers that this animal is the grotesque thing I've ever seen!
In the Biblical Book of Job, when Job has finished his actions before God, the Lord answered him with a series of questions in a "Who do you think you are?" Tone. It begins: "Let him that makes him with the Almighty to teach? He, God, punishes him answered," Then he continues to ask more than two chapters of Job questions to be answered as"" Where thou wast when I saw the foundations of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding "and" By what way is the light diffusely distributed or the east wind over the earth? "And," Is the eagle a slide up onto your command, and make her nest on high? "And of course the point is that we are stupid, no comments to the choice of the game, were the stars in space.
The more I thought about it the more I saw this variety anywhere. It spansthe entire spectrum of all that is created. A beautiful sunrise against a horrific hurricane. A rose, against a cactus. An unspoilt coastline, accessible by sailboats against a dry and empty desert.
And it is true of us. Have we not hellhörig when speaking an attractive person, and be bored, when is an unattractive person? I saw a documentary in which two people were sent out, put on a fat and not good, and a beautiful, without a hair out of place. Both spoke withStore clerks to use both for the same work, and both were basically only one days of ordinary life in a city, with their experience are compared. It was eye-opening put it mildly, observing the reactions and behavior in response to fat and unattractive person, compared with the reactions and behavior in response to the fine and be well dressed.
Ah, the condition humaine! We love the beautiful and reject the ugly. But it should not be so, for he who createdthe fine is the same that are not as nicely laid out, and if we no longer think about what we do, we should admit the error of our vanity. This reminds me of something I once heard. It seems that Albert Einstein was a social function and a beautiful wife told him that if he married her, with his intelligence and her beauty, how wonderful would be the offspring. And he answered: "What if they inherited my beauty and your brains?"
I step back and take a look at thePeople I had loved and admired most in life, and I see that the value of a person I had in any way do to the appearance of the person. In examining the successful marriages I have noticed that the happiest are not a preponderance of physical attractiveness. Why do we react so quickly to the beautiful and turn it automatically from the unattractive? It is human nature. But it is not wisdom. Wisdom is the ability to see within, beneath the surface,and find the beauty that is not obvious, but equally important for those who created them.
In our humanity we need so much low value because our speed turn to miss, if the appearance is not pleasing to the eye. How much richer would we be if we would only spend a little bit, and you still take a look. The first person to discover the pearl was the one who deeper than the everyday life of the clam shell explored.
