The Dove and the Crow

Dove shut up in a cage was boasting of the large number of young ones which she had hatched. A Crow hearing her, said: "My good friend, cease from this unseasonable boasting. The larger the number of your family, the greater your cause of sorrow, in seeing them shut up in this prison-house."
Normal: Having less means having a little to lose.
Reflection: You have nothing to lose when you have nothing. It lessens the pain you go through and the time you waste on these things. Never boast about something that you had all this time. You might not recover from the loss. Life is nothing when you've got no freedom.
