Lowering wings - an analogy of humility

The concept of 'lowering wings' is derived from observing birds and their behavior. When a bird raises its wings, it is about to fly, and when it lowers its wings, it is preparing to land. This analogy is applied to our relationship with our parents. Just as birds depend on their parents for sustenance when they are young and unable to fly, we too were once completely reliant on our parents for everything. As we grow older and more independent, we may feel a sense of superiority and assertiveness towards our parents. However, the analogy of 'lowering wings' emphasizes that we should act with humility and respect towards them, acknowledging the care and sacrifices they have made for us.
