I thought it different.
Once upon a time, a bird, a really beautiful bird was standing in a cactus; he was so tired of flying so he decided he needed to stop for a while even though his wings still wanted to keep flying. The bird firmly stopped at that cactus when a little girl arrived and saw the scene. She thought the cactus was so ugly for such a marvelous bird.
“Why didn’t the hummingbird better stop at a rose, for example?” , she asked. “…Those would seem so cute being together”.

In humans, is not always the same. We don’t have to be in a perfect match, with the perfect person. We surely need, sometimes, to stop at cactuses to realize that there are, somewhere, some other beautiful plants which we could find and rest at.

Appearances do deceive us sometimes; some other times we think one way and stuff come in other way, but we always learn; that bird was quietly resting in an awful cactus but he didn’t care at all. Until the bird moved on and hurt himself with a spike he decided to fly away and find another flower where he could take a breathe, looking forward his next stop was better than the cactus. Do we, humans, really always learn? I’m sure that the little girl wouldn’t be surprised if she sees the hummingbird stopping at a cactus one more time.

Yes, as a matter of fact, we do always learn; but we are not exempt about stopping again in the same place.
