"And to offer a sacrifice according to what is said in the law of the LORD, two turtle-doves or two young pigeons" (Lk 2, 24)
wondered why the two birds are required ... If you watch the Old Testament, one of them replaces a lamb (Lev 12, 6-8), but I think there is still a sense that God sacrifices himself twice - as God, rejecting the privilege to feel strong, and as a man, abandoning comfort feel weak. That is, any of His sacrifice is essentially twofold. But not only his human, too. If this is translated into the human level - that, say, a man of a certain higher considerations waives that friendly and helpful to him of developments. He thereby waived its potential (ie the force), but nevertheless refuses to and from their weakness because it does not go on the road, which for him is easy and convenient.
But man here it is important not to get confused, because if he considers himself a weaker or stronger than he is, then either fall through the pit of laziness and cowardice, or smash his head against a post shapkozakidatelstva. And then, perhaps, but nothing of humility does not help, because humility, I think, is the ability not to feel neither too strong nor too weak. Such a fine line between fear and euphoria. Amen.
