I was going through some of my posts on my first blog ever, and I found this article, which I thought I’d share over here:

—————————-
Reading through my e-mail yesterday, I came across a very interesting e-mail stating certain information that probably most people don’t know about. Two statements caught my attention and really got me thinking;

1) A male fox “marries” only once during his lifetime . If his female partner dies, he doesn’t “remarry”. I used the word Marry here because it kind of gave me a feeling of their faithfulness towards their female partners.

2) A Stock Pigeon’s female is just as faithful, she stays with the same male for the lifetime of either one of them.

I am honestly not sure of how credible these two pieces of information are, but if they are true, which I kind of hope they are ( as I don’t want to be receiving fake e-mails), then I guess that they should teach us humans something about relationships.

This e-mail also reminds me of an article I read the other day saying that Jordan has the second highest rate of divorces in the Arab World. In 2002, it was 1.22 per 1000 population per year, according to the website . The ratio is high for Arab countries in general, but I will be talking about Jordan only as this is the community I live in, and these are the people I deal with on a daily basis. The main reason people get a divorce in Jordan from all the cases of divorce that I know of (which are ALOTTTTTTT) is partly due to the fact that some people look at the wrong things in their potential partner when they propose or accept a proposal. Or they simply go into such a step after a “teenage-like” infatuation that they call LOVE, which usually ends when either one of them finds out that they cannot sit next to a person who breathes in an irritating manner, or chews food so loudly. They simply take such a big step when they are not mature enough to handle the responsibilities and the effort it takes to make a successful marriage.

I hope people could read such e-mails and think of all the things nature could teach us, and actually try to learn from rather than look down at animals, as I do not think humans are any better than animals when they do not use their minds to learn and gain knowledge from whatever they have around them in their environment.

Now I tried looking up the information concerning those animals online, and I couldn’t find anything that confirms it, nor says otherwise... But hey, even if that wasn’t true, I would still like us all to think deeply of those two little stories, as they have something for us to learn from.
