Another insightful philosophical reflection
This morning, while walking the dog, I spotted a bird with a worm in its mouth. This put me in mind of the saying "the early bird gets the worm." Yet it was not early –- it was 9:15. So, in this case, a later bird had gotten the worm.
Or, rather, "a" worm. It's not like there's only one worm. Or one bird either. There are multiple birds and worms and the birds get the worms and the worms get eaten. Which is sad for the worms, but not that sad because, hey, they're worms.
The point is, if you're a bird, you can get worms pretty much whenever. And if you're a worm, you're more or less screwed. So it's best to be a bird. I mean, like, metaphorically or whatever.
