CRUELTY of ANOTHER KIND
THE SHORT INSCRUTABLE LIFE
&
TERRIBLE FATE OF THE DOMESTICATED
LION, ZIMBA!
BOOK DESCRIPTION
This is the story of a cub lion that could fit into the palm of one's hand to a two-year-old mature lion with no sense of what it was to be a lion, only to unwittingly reveal an aspect of its nature in innocence and to be destroyed for that expression. Deplorable as that might be, what say we as humans who behave as clueless in our self-imprisoning excesses while denying or fleeing from our own identity, psychology and our cultural moorings into the vacuum of despair?
This traces the parallel tragedies as a result of retreat from cultural moorings: one imposed by circumstances; the other by the freedom of choice.
Content: 24 pages
NOTE TO REGULAR READERS:
This is the first in an occasional essay on "A Way of Thinking About Things" that was promised in an earlier missive. No missive will be more than forty pages long and the subjects will be catholic touching on biography to philosophy and philosophers to science and scientists, novels and novelists, art and artists, on creative people throughout time who have come into this author's purview in his reading and reflection. Readers across the globe have asked for more that is less. Stay tuned to see how they react to this experiment.
