Pornography
A Blue Bird singing at the top of a tree saw a man walking through the woods holding a little box. He asked the man, “What do you have in the box?”
The man said, “Worms. I will sell you a worm for one feather.” The Blue Bird plucked out one feather and took his worm and said to himself, “Why work when it’s so easy to get food this way?” After many days, there were no more feathers to pay for the worms.
By now the Blue Bird could no longer fly, and he was so ashamed of his appearance that he no longer sang pretty songs.
Like the Blue Bird, we may seek instant gratification from the things the world might offer but we will find the price is too high, and eventually learn that there are no short-cuts to mental and spiritual health. Remember that one can never get enough of what they don’t really need because what they don’t really need will never truly satisfy them.
Pornography is like the worms in the box. Every time you partake a beautiful part of yourself is given up in return. Luckily in a spiritual sense you can reclaim your feathers through the process of repentance and change. Reclaim your feathers now!
