Bugs Life Wisdom

The short scene from A Bugs Life I want to discuss starts with a leaf falling in the middle of the long line of ants that leads to a huge pile of food. The colony was gathering this food for the grasshoppers. The falling leaf lands in front of one of the ants and all of the sudden, this ant couldn't see the line and didn't know what to do... he starts to freak out.

The Queen Ant comes to the rescue, bringing with her a Specialist in this crisis area. The Specialist quickly calms the ant down and tells him it wasn't a big deal, they were going to go around the leaf. The Specialist slowly leads the ant around the leaf right back into the line.

That's amazing. This short scene in the cartoon can be compared to people who don't know what to do when a small obstacle is put in front of them. And while it may seem large (the size of the leaf compared to the ants), in reality, it is really a simple solution.

However, the scene also portrays a specialist leading the way back to the goal - getting back in line to put the food for the grasshoppers. It is interesting that sometimes we go through this as well. We may get off the right path because we reach a seemingly difficult obstacle or obstruction, but once we take other's advice or look at things from a different perspective, we can see that it's not that difficult to get back on track to attain our goal, inshaAllah.
