When an egg is laid, it is oval, white and small, but we do not criticize it as small and featherless.
We treat it with care, handling it nicely, without which it will break.
When the chick hatches from the shell, we do not condemn it as immature and underdeveloped, nor do we criticize it for being featherless.
Instead, we admire and watch in amazement at every stage of its development while guarding it from vultures.
An egg is valuable from the time it is an egg to the time it is a mature chick. Within it, at all times, at every stage, it contains the full potential of a chick.
A chick is not only important when it is mature hen, than when it is an egg.
At each development stage it is perfectly all right as it is.
At each stage, it is the same thing; A hen in the process of expressing it’s full potential
