What we Built up on the Crow.

Updated: Dec 9, 2018

Whatever we think we know as an entire truth, discords with our nature and reality.



As human beings, we tend to build impressions on associations.

There is always a need to connect the unknowns to a chain of similarities, which may lead to a forever lost truth or misconceptions.

So I decided to choose the crow, as an ancient example of how appearance contradicts with reality. We have come a long way thinking of this creature as dark, lonely and always relating it to the evil in the world.

When the crow was mentioned in humanities earliest sin; after the brutal murder of a brother. The crow demonstrates a proper burial in front of Qabil, to show him how to inter his brothers corpse.

Seek authenticity

Now a well known truth that this creature is always associated with grieving times and dark magic (great thanks to the media). However it was offering a natural profound act that changed human history.

If we accept all gospels without questioning their indications, and count on our assumptions without extracting clues from the story, we will drift away from the truth.

Therefore, we start to create a reality based on falsehood. Let's use the crow as a symbol or reminder of our very limited comprehension, and how we fear what we do not understand.
