The other day we noticed a bee buzzing around our house. We decided to take our chances and co-exist with it rather than throwing it outside where the freezing temperatures would certainly have killed it.
This morning I heard a buzzing again and started to imagine a scenario where I found the bee, tried to look after it, feed it etc.
But then I saw where the buzzing was coming from. It was just a fly. My caring instincts evaporated. It could look after itself and didn't matter. Flies are ten a penny.
Isn't it fascinating the way our brains do this? Label and then evaluate. Good/Bad. Interesting/Not Interesting. Worth saving/Not worth saving.
Sadly we seem unable to stop ourselves doing this.
Even with people…
The Obvious?
