So the lion is hungry. He sees a herd or whatever they're called of gazelles. He has his eye on one, goes after it and kills it. His whole family eats, so do the vultures, and the grass gets fertilized which means the other gazelles can continue on living...and living well.
When I'm hungry, I go out and buy something that takes thousands of people to produce, from the farmer to the driver to the grocer, not to mention all the carbon emissions that occur on the way. And then to make things better, just I eat it...and I wasn't even that hungry. Now I'm overweight. Aint that the world?
Another thing is the dog, cat, mouse. So the dog is chasing the cat - something about her makes him want her, but she's paying him no mind. She's too busy trying to catch that mouse, who keeps dangling in front of her, letting her get a paw on his tail, but he's too slick, always getting away. Who knows the mouse's intentions, cuz he's got so much going on. He doesn't even realize how much that cat wants to get him, how much he teases her. But guess what, the cat has all her dealings with the mouse, that she doesn't even realize how much the dog wants her, how much she teases him. And we think we're better than the ants we try so desperately to exterminate everyday?
Maybe. Maybe not. I need a vacation...from this taker life. But the more I try to get away, the more I get lost in it.
My sister took this picture. A view from the back of my house. This was during my grandma's funeral in December 2005. Glorious.

Very indepth thoughts. I was just watching 'Survival Man' or something like that and was thinking similar thoughts. But yeah, the whole eating when you're NOT hungry. I think that's everyone!
Hope ALL is going swell on your end. Take care!!!
