Dog & Bone

Have you ever watched a dog gnaw at the bone?
After he has eaten all the meat it continues to gnaw. Its difficult to part.
And its really the dogs saliva & blood that is there.

After having bared the piece to bone , the dog should have dropped it. Constant gnawing & chewing makes his mouth to bleed and then he is amidst his saliva & blood.

Its like when the purpose of an object is accomplished we must drop it. If we hope to find more useful ness and be possessive of something that has outlived its purpose we will tend to result in pain.

Kids do something similar to ice lolly sticks trying to extract the last bit of flavour and never drop till they start tasting the wood which is far from pleasant.

We all need to learn to drop before the unpleasantness comes in. And we can learn from our & other peoples experience we will spare ourselves the pain.
