4055. Would
cows and goats standing in fields just to the left of a big battlefield have
any ideas about how to predict the outcome of a conflict?
4056. The
answer is no. The cows and sheep might even be surprised, amazed, and even
filled with consternation, at the sudden onset of a huge conflict.
4057. “What on earth do those people
yonder think they are doing to each other?” they would have wondered, mistaking
some big historic battle for the preparation of a cannibalistic feast day. Cows
and sheep would only understand the cutting off of heads as something one does
when preparing dinner.
4058. All
species of birds however have an entirely different perception of human events.
It is their great good fortune to be able to view everything from above and at
a great distance. Consider for a moment how this special birdlike ability relates
to predicting the outcome of battles.
