I
was walking out to the woodshed and I spooked a small Frog. She
turned and jumped away as quickly as she could. It occurred to me
that my culture would say she was a coward. Maybe it was just smart.
I was not a threat, but she didn't know that. Jumping away meant that
she'd live another day, or at least wouldn't be killed by me. It gets
me thinking that most of the time that is how potential conflicts get
resolved outside. Competitors usually do their best to avoid each
other. Makes for a pretty peaceful way to live. If I have the choice,
I choose Peace over meaningless conflict.
