When two ducks fight, to separate swimming in opposite directions. Then the two flap their wings vigorously several times to release excess energy accumulated during the fight. Once you have shaken the wings are swimming peacefully as if nothing had happened.
If the duck had a human mind, keep the fight alive in their thoughts, weaving stories. This could be the story of the duck: "I can not believe what I just did, I came within a few inches, is sure to create pond owner has no consideration some of my private space. Never again will I trust in him for sure next time dither else to bother, I'm sure that it is up to something but will not tolerate it, will give a good lesson to never forget. "
And so the mind weaving their stories, thinking and talking about it for days, months or even years. As for the body, the struggle has not ceased and the energy generated in response to those thoughts is emotion, which leads to more thoughts yet. This is what becomes emotional thinking of the ego. Problem is easy to see what life would duck if I had a human mind. But that's how most living human beings. Never put an end to any situation or event. Mind and "my story" made continuing their endless cycle.
We are a species that lost its way. In all of nature, every flower or tree, in every animal, there is an important lesson for us, if only we stop to watch and hear. The duck lesson is: shake off the wings, ie the history we leave behind and return to the only place is the power: the present. "
