In this little film by Jean-Jacque Annaud, a baby bear is chased across land, over a tree trunk and through a river. It is a tale of survival in the wild. Although it looks more majestic and filled with danger, the little bear’s struggle is not all that different from our own lives.
Just when we think all is lost, when the little bear is floats to shore and the tiger big “cat” is about to attack, mama bear shows up. Even if we don’t have our mother anymore, we need someone who has got our back. Watch the video!
The “cat” in the video is a mountain lion/panther/cougar, but is most certainly NOT a tiger, which has stripes and is a tropical jungle feline – and is a much more intimidating predator. I point this out, not to be nit-picker, but to return the favor and good fortune for the “mental” nutrition I’ve found in your site, blog.
Modern man has evolved from surviving minute to minute to a point of survival comfort, minute to minute, day to day. Our hierarchy of needs has “ascended” from escaping death on a regular daily basis, to avoiding injury or falling short of effective production, to be able to exchange currency for items required for survival or comfort.
