The Moral Vision
The Flight of the Bee
~ 238 ~
Nature teaches us a lesson through the bees. It
shows us that each of our steps should be based on
realities and not on wishful thinking or vague
suppositions. The future will, of necessity, have its
moments of darkness as well as its moments of
light. If we fail to note the significance of this
difference and begin our journeys in ignorance and
without forethought, the future will hold little that
is bright for us. Moments of light and dark will
come according to their own set course, and not as a
result of our wishful thinking. If we do not pay
heed to the realities of existence and plan our lives
accordingly, we shall have the illusion that we are
heading towards a bright future and splendid
results, whereas, when the next moment of
darkness arrives, we shall discover that, all along,
we had been heading towards darkness.
