Do you know? Eagle can live up to 70 years old? But, in order to do that, they must make a hard decision.
At the age of 40 years old, their long and flexible talons (their nails) can no longer grab prey, their long and sharp beak becomes bent, their feathers become thick and make the old-age wings stick to its chest and make them difficult to fly.
Now, the eagle only has two options; going through a painful process of REBIRTH or DIE. DO or DIE. The process lasts to 150 days.
The eagle must fly to the top of a mountain and sit on its nest. There, the eagle knocks its beak against a rock until it plucks out. Then, the eagle will wait for a brand new beak to grow back before it can use it to pluck out all its talons. One by one until all pluck out. Then they wait again until their new talons grow back. Next, the eagle starts plucking its old-aged feathers until it feel light again.
After 5 months, the eagle will conquer the air again with its famous flight of rebirth and lives for another 30 years. This is the real ‘live begin after 40th’.
p/s: moral of the story, sometimes we feel like we can’t go on further, but the truth is, we are too afraid to make a change. We are too afraid of what the community will think of us, we are too afraid to leave our old bad habit and superstitious. But, a CHANGE certainly needed in order for us to fly across the barrier.
