The value of asking thoughtful questions and examining what we take for granted.
A fable by Marc Young
What we believe.
Why we belong.
How we choose.
A literary fable about loyalty, belonging, and the courage to think for yourself—an invitation to look more closely at familiar choices.
A mirror disguised as a story
01 The story
Belonging feels simple—until it asks you to set your questions aside.
The Eagle for Breakfast brings questions of loyalty, belonging, and personal choice into the world of fable. It invites readers to consider how familiar habits and shared expectations shape the way we think and act.
Through an imagined world, the story opens space for reflection: what do we believe, why do we believe it, and how do we choose what matters?
