Squirrels taught mankind how to HODL.
HODL is simply a crypto term that means to HOLD.
Have you heard the term, to squirrel your money away ?
The Miriam Webster dictionary describes it like this,
Definition of squirrel away : to put (something) in a safe or secret place especially so that it can be kept for future use Most of his money is squirreled away somewhere.
The HODLING habit is practiced by both the old at the right and young on the bird bath.
And if the young has any questions ???.
Then the old demonstrate the act on the bath while the young at the right practices the act.
This was also how the young learned how to HODDLE, as the old demonstrated the act of HODLING to them, by burying a nut in the ground for a time that food will be scarce.
Oh! And the squirrels also teach us not to watch our nuts all of the time. Rest periods are essential.
But when it comes to feeding time, or Hive mooning time, everyone gets to have his share.
No queuing or hoarding as each one gets an equal share.
And they respect each other by giving each other their own spaces to feed in.
So they all grow together and come winter time next year, our garden will be full of peanut bushes, which is a bonus as then the squirrels will have plenty food to eat.
Mankind of course is a totally different kind of intelligent animal and some of us will even kill to protect our hoardings, while others have to struggle without.
Mother nature teaches us the simple and very effective ways in life, but we then simply complicate everything that she teaches, normally for our own gain.
We live in a sad world and it's up to all of us to make it a better place, for our children and their children's sake.
I hope that you have enjoyed this life lesson by the squirrels.
And That's All Friends!
