Firstly, take a few minutes to derive meaning out of this picture on your own.

We would love to read your explanation in the comments below.

READ OUR THOUGHTS ON THIS PIECE OF ART:

The sketch is about Generosity. This concept is explained in a hypothetical situation. Looking at the picture you can observe two birds, a tree, and a fruit.


The yellow bird sitting on the tree claims to be its master. The blue twittering bird comes from a foreign land and is very hungry. So, the yellow bird moves some branches, thus leading to the fall of the fruit for the blue bird to eat.

Here, this is an act of generosity by an animal (keep in mind that while referring to animals we mean animals other than humans). As we know, unlike humans, animals don't observe the intersubjective reality. Therefore, they have got no religion in them, and they don't really understand money. 

Now see the picture as a whole and imagine a pious man. 


The sketch wants to convey that we humans should be generous not because God said so, but by realizing our morality. In the sketch, the yellow bird helped the blue bird not because God commanded it; The generosity came from its compassion. Thus, humans should learn to be generous not by mere obedience to an entity, but by having compassion towards others. What will happen, for instance, if the priests tell you to kill millions of people in the name of the entity? It will be a disaster. (Here, we aren't referring to a particular cult. It just so happened that the pious man looks like a ...........)

In the end, our main focus is always on inspiring you to be more imaginative and observant about everything in your life and express it in any form. 

PS- Money, gods, laws, nations, and corporations are some examples of intersubjective reality.
