#738 THE VULTURE MENTALITY

All that some people see are our mistakes. Brother Singh tells a beautiful little story to illustratehis principle. He explains there are two kinds of birds. The first is a lark that soars high in the heavens, rejoicing in song at the beauty of the sky, the clouds, the mountains, the rivers, and the meadows far below. The second birdis a vulture. It also flies high but focuses only on carrion — a carcass — ofrotting dead flesh to feed on. The moral of the story is that believers oughtto be larks, not vultures looking to feed on every negative they can extractfrom somebody's life.
