Or maybe the bird is too wild, therefore it will eat off it's wings so it cant harm anyone with them.
Losing his own freedom for the well-being of the society.

In the sea without lees
Standeth the bird of Hermes
Eating his wings variable
And maketh himself yet full stable
When all his feathers be from him gone
He standeth still here as a stone
Here is now both white and red
And all so the stone to quicken the dead
All and some without fable
Both hard and soft and malleable
Understand now well and right
And thank you God of this sight
The bird of Hermes is my name
Eating my wings to make me tame.

That is the end of the Ripley Scroll

White represents death and red and black represent life.

Just a correction, that story is one of the ripley scroll. Not the bible.

Yeah i was gunna say...where did you find this in the Bible? lol..

When faced with two choices just simply flip a coin. Not because it settles the question for you, but because that one second it is in the air you suddenly know what you are hoping for.
