I watch this with a challenge! If a honey bee is already in a flower, another bee that that flies in for honey, changes its course to look for another flower. The bees practice in relational etiquette!
I sometimes wonder whether humans fail this test! Don't we sometimes eye what others have and wish to possess it!
Humans displace others to get what they choose rather than allow space for others! Sometimes we tend to have more than we need so that others are deprived of them!
According to a business economist, there is enough for every person if we keep only what we need!
To give others preference over our need is an exceptional human behaviour which I sense sometimes and feel touched.
Dr Kaithan, a social theologian who spent a lot of his time at CF Hospital, Oddanchatram came barefooted to the hospital one day. When I asked him about his sandals, he told me that, a farmer came to visit him who walked about five kilometres each day. He gave away his sandals to him because he thought that he needed it more! Dr Kaithan at that time was in his seventies and used a walking stick!
