Some days you’re the pigeon, some days you’re the statue.
The Sage believes balance is the natural order of things. Some days you soar triumphantly, strutting about with feathers unruffled. Other days you find yourself motionless, staring grimly ahead while life dumps indignities on your head. The trick, he says, is learning to laugh from either perspective.
It’s a whimsical reminder that fortune and misfortune are both temporary. No matter how lofty you feel today, you might be the statue tomorrow — and vice versa. Either way, the pigeons always seem to win.
The Sage insists that wisdom is not about avoiding pigeon days, but embracing them as part of life’s comedy. After all, without statues, pigeons would just be circling aimlessly — and without pigeons, statues would get far too smug.
