DODOS for survival

The Dodo represents everything foolish, stupid, useless and about to go extinct. But they too had a purpose. The Calvaria tree which grew on the dodo’s native island was dependent on the dodo for its survival. The thick hull of the tree’s seeds could sprout only after it had been through the severities of the dodo’s digestive system. The tress almost went extinct too after the bird did and it was only when turkeys were brought to the island that they managed to save a handful of the trees.


Sometimes we too feel insignificant and less competent than others but each of us serves a purpose and has an important role to play even if others and we ourselves don’t see it. Hang in there. Someone else is dependent on you.
