All Men Are Created Equal

.
Have you ever wondered why Thomas Jefferson chose those words for the opening of our Constitution? Things could have been much different had he thought a bit more about such a strong statement.

Ever since, men have been struggling to prove them better than the other. They knock each other out in a ring, compete to see who is the faster swimmer or runner, the highest jumper, the better golfer, the more brilliant chess player, or who can drink the most beer. The competition never ends.

Now, had it been written, "That all men are created beautiful," there would have been far fewer wars, competitions and hangovers. Because that is a finite statement and would not be argued among men.

Look at the world around you. Recently, right from the comfort of The Dock, I've observed ducks, geese, deer, and now today, a wild turkey. Now, I know that men have in the past consumed Wild Turkey while debating whether they were better than the other, but for me, watching that turkey drove the point home that men are beautiful. It's true and evident where ever you look.

But the wild turkey shows it best. Although the male Mallard duck, Canadian goose, Coastal Deer, or the Red Headed woodpecker, are much prettier than the female of the species, none show it better than the Wild turkey.

With his bright blue head held proudly above his plump body, his bright red feet strut in a perfectly timed cadence, while his female follows a few paces behind. And when those feathers spread, there is no doubt who is beautiful.

So call me a turkey if you want. There will me no fight though. No arguments. No competition. Because I am beautiful!
