“Come here. It’s cold. I know you’re freezing,” says the man, reaching out to the shivering animal. The beast inches closer, wary, nose stretched out… and suddenly bites hi.
“Ow! Motherfucker! Son of bitch got me!” the man yells. “Oh! God damn coyotes!” Really? No way. What a shock!
Instagram is full of nonsense, but the Tourons of Yellowstone account is something else. It’s a fascinating diary of how far modern people have drifted from their roots.
City life is a warm cocoon of control and comfort. Turn the tap, and water flows. Press a button, and food arrives. Nature still exists, but smart infrastructure softens the blow.
We are unaware of the dark side of nature anymore, so we swoon over the cute side. Hollywood helps with that. It’s easy to love wild animals from a distance — especially when they sing and dance on screen.
But ignorance never saved anyone. It just guarantees pain later. Why? Because no one escapes Reality. What we don’t want to face always finds us. And bites. The man should’ve said: “Oh wise coyote! Thank you for the lesson.”
Because it’s not just the wild world whose dark side we deny; we deny our own darkness. Believing we’re angels in the flesh feels good and safe. But the cost of that lie is this: we start hunting witches and demons in others.
Unable to accept the “evil” within, man fights “evil” outside. Quotes on purpose. Because when you study your inner darkness, it often surprises you. A curse turns out to be a gift. And the filth was hiding the Cullinan diamond.
