Running in the wild.
He stalks his prey, attacking and killing at will, and then goes in search of his next conquest.
That’s what his lion instincts tell him to do, he doesn’t know anything else.
He’s not misbehaving, he’s not bad. He’s being a lion.
Now, lock him up in the zoo.
He lies there all day, quiet and lethargic and well fed.
What happened to those powerful instincts ?
They’re still there, deep inside, waiting to be uncaged.
Let him out of the zoo, he goes a lion again, preying and attacking.
Put him back in the cage, he lies down.
Most people are the lion in the cage, safe, tame, predictable, wainting for something to happen.
But for Humans. The cage isn’t made of glass and steel bars ; It’s made of bad advice and low self-esteem and bullshit and tortured thinking about what you can’t do or what you’re supposed to do.
