Life and Death On a Summer Afternoon

You mean your immorality.

That bird needed to eat, and he obtained what was available. There is as much beauty in that as any other vignette of nature. Trying to superimpose your own aesthetic over what simply is is hubris.

A birdie with a yellow bill
Hopped upon my windowsill
Cocked his shining eye and said
Ain't you shamed you sleepyhead.

Robert Louis Stevenson

Amazing things happen if we will be still for a moment.

But was the bird imposing its hubristic morality, nay, immorality upon said sleepy-head?
