This entire conversation has stayed on track, and has been one of the most interesting ones ive read all year. And the forum in itself shows that we all have the folds of the wolf. we all have and need good and bad, right and wrong. things cant be appreciated without the other, emotions wouldnt exist without highs and lows and mediocrity. ive learned to accept there is no right or wrong. the choices made that caused harm are products of environment, or situational dilemmas that any of us wolves are capable of making. the moral human steps in and stops our inner wolf from killing the lexus drivers who nearly run us over. we then let out the wolf in other ways through verbal hate remarks or punching a wall, or howling at the top of our lungs. the wolf goes to sleep and the human comes out again and starts the work week over.
i remember how i felt reading about the doors entered at the end of steppenwolf
A childhood friend of his and the steppenwolf as a child are up in a treehouse with rifles, and they are witnessing a small battle with occassional innocent passerbys as well. they choose just to shoot. randomly, yet with some spur of the moment logic that makes sense to them at the time. after firing off their shots picking and choosing who they wish, they simply put the guns down, feel some regret, and kind of forget what they were doing there in the first place. the darker folds of our wolves are just as necessary as the love, kindness, and affection displayed in neighboring folds right next to each other. and it all can change for better or worse all within a split second of a chemical reaction of neurons firing off in a random direction.
i havent had coffee yet. sorry i kind of went in a few different directions up there.

I think i've seen the light..
"I don't care what the people are thinking, i ain't drunk i'm just drinking"
Meaning of Life? Nobody mentioned Candide by Voltaire yet, so I thought I better had do as it's one of the funniest books around. Also the Confessions by Rouseau - man laid bare.
Religion? Some people need it due to man's injustice to man, natural disaster, loss of loved ones, mental imbalance etc.
Meaning? Whatever you want, up to you.
Try to get up early, eat breakfast, grow your food, stay away from bankers and the likes, and hope that the perceived American consumerist way of doing things dies out real quick.
One can find peace, but there are too many others trying to ruin it, normally for as little as an f'in Iphone.
