The Confounding Continued
In a happy relaxed and isolated village in the planet Earth, lies a pact between the creatures that reside in the woods. Between those creatures you could find harmonic all types of animals such as; rabbits, birds, turtles, squirrels, deer’s, bears and so on. The pact consisted of never, ever leaving the woods because they all knew and doubted about a dangerous life outside. The animals were never needed of anything, not even food. They were all happily filled.
One sunny typical day in the woods consisted of dynamic games and time spend together. One of the games consisted of hiding. An animal would count and the rest would hide in order to get caught.
Inside the pact there was a brave leader bear. This time he decided to count in order to find his friends. He was so enthusiastic about it that for long hours he searched in all the woods, even in the darkest places. He continued his journey and he got lost.
After a long walk he arrived to a desolated place. He could hear noises but see nothing but dirt. There were no trees, no plants, not even life. He suddenly saw a big black creature with huge teeth eating another big brown creature. The bear thought he was dreaming, maybe hallucinating.
After the black creature finished eating the rests of the poor animal he reached to the bear, and asked him why has he left his pact. The creature seemed to know his village.
The scared bear that could barely speak asked him: -Why were you eating him.
The black creature said: -I am a wolf. I live this life, we all do.
From the shadows big creatures named wolves reached to the light and looked at the bear as fresh meat.
The black wolf continued saying: -You bear, are a big and strong animal. You shouldn’t be treated like a baby. I can show you this different side of the world. The good life, and then you can make the rest of your pact feel the same pleasure. The pleasure of doing what you are willing to do; eat what you deserve, search places you have never seen, search for impulsivity, rebellions, accept challenges and mainly to explode you curiosity.
The bear felt confused and got back to his pact. All the animals were worried about him. The bear started to talk about all this ideas of manifesto and repression, suddenly the bear started to act as the wolf do, then other animals began to follow his actions.
Little by little the happy relaxed and isolated village called Earth started consuming itself and all the animals extinct.
