Sharing

Welcome once again

Forest life has surely changed since i started writing this blog.With the introduction of cousin bear, my stay in the forest has been rather exemplary, and the fact that i am no longer a sole intellectual acts as a catalyst in my social development. The benefits of having company are quite clear in that every day my smile broadens and i regain a small portion of my bear entity.

However, there is a downside to living with cousins (that's right, i pluralized that noun because i recently ran into my long lost twin bear), that being sharing. Although i am an intellectual bear, this concept of "sharing" is quite new to me. As i am tough and gargantuan, i never had the need to share, i would simply maul anything that fell in my way. Now, living with two bears i love very much, i must learn and grasp this new concept of "sharing" with determination and perseverance.

Despite the sharing dilemma i am facing, i have come across another observation. It is normal in a Bear's nature to laze around and rest, especially in hibernation. This however limits the Bear's output and thus hinders any personal improvements, be it technical, intellectual or lifestyle. This occurrence is much like the human idealist's Newtons second law - inertia. A bear will continue to laze around until it is provoked or inspired by an external force. For example, a bear that does nothing all day will definitely not improve it's hunting efficiency. However, if it see's that a rival bear is extremely efficient at hunting fish or catching wildlife, jealousy and the need for competition will kick in.

Competition is in us all. It inspires us to excel in what we do as well as gives us meaning in life. However, there are limits to everything. However, with too much competition, obliviousness may kick in and one may become ignorant to their surroundings and intolerable to any positive criticism.

Excuse my rather long rant, however, i felt the need to say it.

Goodbye yet again and look forward to experiencing my twin's unparalleled artistic talent. I guess creativity runs in the family. Here is a sample of it:
