Very few animals will share their nest with an outsider, however there are a few exceptions. On the other hand we as humans by nature would probably not want to share our nest as well. So begins the problem when we find a mate that we may spend the rest of our lives with. By the time we are ready for that commitment we have had a few years in the business of living. Our childhood nurturing has formulated our belief system and attitudes towards life in general. The gender differences come into play. Now that a new person comes on the scene we must be on our best behavior. When our sons and daughters find their respective mates we prepare ourselves to take that individual into the nest. If fifty percent of marriages don’t work, we have to live with people’s bad choices. A male and female living together in the same nest twenty-four seven is a challenge to say the least. The most spiritual thing we can do is to love each other, however human nature will not allow us to like everything about our parteners. Now we have to bring a new personality into the mix! We are gracious about the choice our off springs have made. However are we truly happy with the new addition that will share the nest from time to time.
Are we the innately social animals we should be? Probably not! The personality differences will not allow us to interact with kindness all the time. Aside from the sociological and psychological differences that we bring into the mix our respective nests will be challenged. The more we truly accept our human differences the better we will tolerate each other. Lets spare us from examples however examine our own nest!
Nature and the animals in it have no preset rules on how to behave? They have their natural instinctive natures by which they survive. However we as the human being we share the same fear of survival as the animal in nature. Our worst enemy is ourselves! We will manipulate each other to the point of uncontrollable anger and resentment! That is the carroding thread that destroys the harmony in the nest.
The self- proclaimed experts suggest that self- examination will allow us to be more tollrable to others! The mere suggestion that we are different will instill resenetmet and anger? Would that not suggest an endless revolving door? I could write about this to an infinite end, however why bother I think we can draw our own conclusions and make an effort to share our nest with others. Forgviness will give us an emotional rest until the next challenge!
