The Ant Hill



I was observing this anthill in our house for the past week, and was amazed at the spirit and intelligence of the ants and was sure that they have a lesson or two for us. Everytime they built it light rains used to wash it away and I was amazed they have managed to learn from their mistakes and build it in such a way that it will now withstand moderate amount of rain. Now it resembles a Roman Colesseum and with a sprout in the middle it is very pretty looking.

I remember watching an episode on Discovery channel on Ants and apparently they have their DNA hardwired to focus on a single task work tirelessly and they work till they drop dead. Their DNA structure and their brain cells have not developed stimuli to recognize stuff like fatigue, boredom and routine - they are just happy to be the way they are.

So the way I see it "Your life will always be full of challenges. It is better to admit as much and to decide to be happy in spite of it all"
