Live to Fight for Another Day

The photo depicts a tiger resting below a table while two cocks fight to the death above him.

The cocks are above the table, fighting to theirs death, ready to pounce and take a lethal blow. They think that their fight is susbtantial, that only one could win while each of them think that it could be him. 8"You are going to die. Your blood shall rest on my talons", thinks each cock. Unbeknownst to them, a tiger is just below them taking a rest.

Sure enough, the tiger could have ended the fight, stood up and take one giant leap towards any or both of them to make it easier. He would have killed in an instant. But the tiger told himself, "This is not my battle to fight, I shall rest to fight for another day".

I believe that this photo depicts humanity. We believe that our wars are always justified, that we are more entitled to our own opinions. In truth, there are greater battles to be won, greater than our own minds are capable of understanding. We need to be selective of our battles and live to fight for another day.
