Have you noticed the similarities between animals and people?
While watching “mommy TV” (which is what the kids call my TV show preferences),
I saw part of a show about lions. While male lions protect their pride, female
lions do most of the hunting. Once they take down an animal on the prairie, they
all rush in to enjoy the feast. Normally the King of the Jungle eats first, and
the rest of the pride follows his lead.
The show revealed how the cubs and females tried to share in
the meal as the males ripped away chunks of meat. At one point, one of the
babies did something to earn a gentle swat from the massive paw of its papa.
The baby, in all of its miniature cuteness, had the gall to swat back! Maybe the
pair wrestles when things get slow on the prairie, but returning daddy’s swat during
dinner is a dangerous no-no. Here’s another daring decision:
Can you say, “playing with fire?” The narrator said he was
defending his territory, but it looked like playtime to me. I’m not sure his “playmates”
enjoyed the fun. One slip of the hand and things could have turned deadly.
Sometimes we head out in a direction that makes sense, but by the end of the road, we wind up on an unexpected path. In daily life, how do you know that you’re making
the right choices?
