Once upon a time there was a group of birds
They had traditions and very strict rules
They all lived in a tree and never left it
Because if one flew away, they would be seen as a freak
There was one little bird
At first he seemed to be like the others
But in reality, he had a dream
He wanted to escape the tree
He told his mommy about it but she scolded him,
Saying he should stay here as this is as it's supposed to be.
The little bird got sad but had to obey the rules
Over time he got older
The other birds liked him a lot
But one day he declared that he's leaving and no one can stop him.
In that moment, the birds forgot about his good qualities, talents
And started hating him
The little bird started to get bullied
Mocked
He just wanted to dissapear
He regretted his words
Months passed and it was time,
The day he was supposed to fly away
But the little bird wasn't there to experience his new found freedom
The other birds pushed him over the edge way too soon.
"In nature, a flock will attack any bird that is more colorful than the others because being different is seen as a threat."
