Seagulls



Seagulls are scavengers. They eat whatever edible food they can find. We can see them soaring above the shoreline, grabbing errant bits of popcorn, sandwich crusts, and potato chips.




To a seagull, a fish head tossed from a crabbing boat probably seems fit for a king. They relish what they have - or at least they seem to if we judge by the way they dive and soar, in competition for every crumb. We have no way of knowing if they are happy, but they seem to be.




For humans, this is an excellent lesson: Love what you already have, and you'll have more to love soon.
