Never trust an untested Person...

Never trust an untested Person...
            The Eagle tests before it trusts. When a female eagle meets a male and they want to mate, she flies down to earth with the male pursuing her and she picks a twig. She flies back into the air with the male pursuing her. Once she has reached a height high enough for her, she lets the twig fall to the ground and watches it as it falls. The male chases after the twig. The faster it falls, the faster he chases it. He has to catch it before it falls to the ground. He then brings it back to the female eagle. The female eagle grabs the twig and flies to a higher altitude and then drops the twig for the male to chase. This goes on for hours, with the height increasing until the female eagle is assured that the male eagle has mastered the art of catching the twig which shows commitment. Then and only then, will she allow him to mate with her.
           Leaving the animal kingdom for human, commitment is too expressed better in this passage of the bible: Naomi said, “See now! Your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and her god. Go back after your sister-in-law!" But Ruth said, “Do not ask me to abandon or forsake you! For wherever you go, I will go, wherever you lodge I will lodge,
your people shall be my people, and your God my God
.” 1 Ruth 1:1, 3-6, 14b-16, 22.
          Whether in private life or in business, one should test commitment of people intended for partnership.
