One night, two birds were seen arguing over
who should be tending over the nest they
both built high atop the tree. The fact is both
of them should. But because they both loved
the nest, they thought that building the nest
was all there is to do. And so, they were both
seen busily building the nest day in and day
out. For some peculiar reason, each weren’t
conscious over what the other had done and
in their haste, they forgot to stop, admire
nor praise each other for the fine handiwork.
Instead, both of them kept complaining that
the other should be doing the tending. Well,
the moon just beamed its widest smile. “It is
a strong nest!” the moon says. ” Needed no
tending..”

Beautiful. Sometimes we are preoccupied with ourselves, we don’t notice what good others are doing. Nice read.
