The Hidden Value of Character in a Productivity-Driven Society

In a world that emphasizes productivity, golden-laced Polish chickens serve as a reminder of the remarkable diversity of God's creations. Their striking beauty and engaging personalities illustrate that value comes in many packages. Originally prized for their egg production, they have now become primarily ornamental birds, celebrated for their dramatic feather crests and vibrant plumage. 

Despite common misconceptions, golden laced Polish chickens do not originate from Poland. Their name is derived from their crest, which resembles the feathered helmets of Polish soldiers. This rare and decorative breed is admired for its eye-catching look and friendly nature. Polish chickens are gentle, excellent with children, and unexpectedly good at flying. They are more interested in foraging and exploring than in sitting on eggs.

In a society that heavily emphasizes productivity, certain individuals may not distinguish themselves through their capacity to produce expected results. Their value lies in their character. Similar to the Golden laced Polish chicken, some individuals shine through their distinctive and enduring beauty, amiable disposition, capacity to connect well with children, and a curious spirit eager for wisdom and knowledge.

Do you know someone whose personality resembles that of the golden laced Polish chicken?
