Do you ever wonder what it must be like for a wild animal?

Waking up cold and hungry. Trying to find food without becoming something else’s food. Ending the day trying to find a safe sheltered place to sleep.

Suddenly that commute doesn’t seem so bad.

I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself.

@newjaninev2 That's true. And they don't fear death. That's a human construct.

@Ynotisay our attempts to distance ourselves from all other species, as well as our constant agonising about death, find their roots in human hubris, I feel.
