Freedom is Never Free
I want to share this with you guys because i find it really inspiring.
In the famous tale by Ahiqar, later picked up by Aesop (then La Fontaine), the dog boasts to the wolf all the contraptions of comfort and luxury he has, almost prompting the wolf to enlist. Until the wolf asks the dog about his collar and is terrified when he understood its use. "Of all your meals, I want nothing". He ran away and is still running.
The question is: what would you like to be, a dog or a wolf? Just don't be a dog claiming to be a wolf.
Love it. Better starve free than be a fat slave.
Definitely a wolf! This is written well!
Freedom is the big thing....you are right dude...
The Mongolians famously conquered the entire known world (at the time) by watching and imitating wolfs. They learned and imitated their hunting style, their social hierarchy, and their spirituality. What was key to this was not only their ability to act as wolves, but to identify other groups of people as wolf or dog. Given that the Mongolians were wild horse archers, while the people they conquered were typically domesticated sedentary peoples living in towns, villages, and cities, I think they succeeded specifically by identifying and dominating domestic dogs pretending to be wild wolves, so I think your advice is well taken.
