When an 🐘 *elephant* 🐘 needs to be transported by plane 🛫 from one country to another, for example, from *India* 🌏 to the *United States* 🌏, they are placed in its cage... of baby chicks 🐥. *Yes, you read that right:* tiny baby chicks 🐥. *Why ?* 🤔 💁🏻‍♀️ Because, despite its imposing mole, the elephant 🐘 is extremely afraid of hurting it. For this reason, during the entire flight ✈️, it remains perfectly still, so as not to risk crushing a single one. This is how you maintain the balance of the plane ✈️. And it’s also the first proof of its noble nature 💫. Fascinated by this behavior, some scientists 👨‍🔬 have studied the elephant’s brain 🧠. They've discovered the presence of fusiform cells, extremely rare neurons, also found in humans. They are those connected to self-awareness 😌, empathy and social perception. *In other words, the elephant isn’t just big physically:* it’s also big emotionally. Feel, understand, act with silent wisdom. *Leonardo da Vinci*, deeply fascinated by nature, wrote about him: *The elephant embodies uprightness, reason and temperance.* And they added: He enters the river and bathes with a kind of solemnity, as if he wanted to cleanse himself of all evil. If you meet a lost man, he gently escorts him to the right path. *You never walk alone:* always in a group, always led by a leader. It's pudgy. They only mate at night 🌌, far from the pack, and before returning to their peers, they wash. And if you meet a herd on the path, move it gently with the proboscide, so as not to hurt anyone. *But what moves me more than anything is this:* when the elephant 🐘 feels the end is near, it moves away from the herd and goes to die alone, in a remote place. *Why does he do that?* To save the young ones the pain of seeing him die. For the stink. Out of compassion. Because of dignity. Three rare virtues. *Even among men!* 💯
