Are we Warriors or Cowards?

[ShirKhan]

There is good reason tigers are nearly extinct and sheep and cows are everywhere.

 

Our civilization makes $$$ from breeding and harvesting sheep. It makes nothing from a tiger.

 

Civilization has governments that have power through their control of the sheep. Tigers tend to keep their power for themselves.

 

Sheep are gathered into the rich, flat, green areas of civilization, while tigers must make their way along the rocky fringes of society and the caves of solitude. Tigers have no place in civilzation, but can make their way through it if they are unseen.

 

The days are over when a tiger can walk in the open and be accepted as having a part and place in the world without being mocked, attacked, or ostracised. If a time machine brought Alexander the Great or Miyamoto Musashi back from the dust of years, it would be a matter of days before they were dead or incarcerated in today's world. There are reasons why this is a good thing. There are reasons why this is a tragedy.

 

There are times when anyone must wear the costume of a sheep, and, God help us, even "BAA-AAA" on demand. But never believe there is something wrong with you because you hunt in your dreams and grass tastes like cold dirt.

 

If there were no such things as "dojos" and "kwoons" an enterprising tiger would invent them. SOme people think a dojo is there to teach them something they are not. Tigers find such things as dojos are there to show them what they always were, and to help them remember. They might also be called "sanctuaries".

 

Just don't go nuts and start eating people. You don't know where some of them have been...
