Cry Wolf Part II

There will come a time in your life when you feel utterly and completely alone.  No prospects of rescue from the loneliness.

They say instinctively animals remember their way back home.  Maybe it's a sense of smell or place or memory.   We are more fragile.  In an instant our memories can become shadows.  The distance between ourselves and the ones we love can begin to seem insurmountable.  All some of us can do is to stay close to home and hope that we will not be forgotten.  But in the end, remembering is not entirely up to us, neither is coming home.

Cry Wolf

Commitment is complicated.  When times get a little hairy, we have to decide should we stay or should we go.  Animals have instincts about these things, fight or flight, but human relationships are more complex.  How do we know when to give up the fight?  

Faced with a choice between fleeing or fighting, sometimes even the strongest of us run.  Animal instincts serve animals well, but we're human and we make mistakes.  For the lone wolves among us, self-preservation is easy because they're not trying to preserve a relationship.  Unlike animals, most of us have emotions clouding our vision.  We want to look out not just for ourselves, but for each other.  Until we realize in the end, human or animal, we are all alone ans we will have to fight for ourselves.
