The Buzzard, The Bat, and the Bumblebee

If you put a buzzard in a pen six or eight feet square and entirely open at the top, the bird, in spite of his ability to fly, will be an absolute prisoner. The reason is that a buzzard always begins a flight from the ground wit a run of ten or twelve feet. Without space to run, as is his habit, he will not even attempt to flay, but will remain a prisoner for life in a smaill jail with no top.The ordinary bat tha flies around at night, a remarkable nimble creature in the air, cannot take off from a level place. If it is placed on the floor ot flat ground, all it can do is shuffle about helplessly and, no doubt, painfully, until it reaches smoe slight elevation from which it can throw itselft into the air. Then, at once, it takes off like flash.A Bumblebee if dropped into an open tumbler will be there until it dies, unless it is taken out. It never sees the means of escape at the top but persist in trying to find smoe way out trought the side near the bottom. It will seek a way where none exist, until it completely destroys itselft.In may ways, there are lots of people like the buzzard, the bat and the bee. They are struggling about with all their problems and frustrations, not realizing that the answer is right there above them.
