A
pair of glassy eyes studied me. No need to feel intimidated just because it’s
the bustling city, right? I stared back from
the security of my car. In the end, I
won the stare down contest and the little squirrel scampered away. How
interesting that once I spotted the critter watching me, I assumed it had
horrible plans to chase me up the street. The citified squirrel probably came
in contact with people more often than its skittish suburban relatives, hence its
lack of fear toward humans. It probably just wanted a handful of nuts. How
often do you jump to conclusions before weighing the evidence? What do you
think about this scene?

Someone
from the video commented about how the squirrel was a juvenile and may have
lost its parents. Does that change your perception of the squirrel’s behavior? Maybe
the little guy simply wanted to move indoors for warm
shelter and gentle belly rubs here and there. We can’t take everything we see
and hear as gospel. How do you filter information to ferret out the truth?
