In the beginning of the decade the country was fighting a war then in the middle of the decade they experienced a terror attack.

they act. Beholding a Weasel’s careless senses has been lost within human culture because we are constantly thinking about what occurs in the past, present, and future rather than using a Weasel’s “plug into that pulse” mindset. For example, when Timothy Treadwell reciprocated direct eye contact with a Grizzly bear (more specifically, Mr. Chocolate). Treadwell did not have anything on his agenda, he did not think, it was a moment between him and the bear and nothing else mattered. This form of…

life, and escaping to live deliberately, spiritually, and hand in hand with nature at its purest. Many men and women leave their mundane life in the cities to follow this ideal, to seek out reason, and get back to their roots to see true nature. Timothy Treadwell was one of many who attempted to go back to the wilds, but one who captured the concept of Transcendentalism beautifully. Treadwell connected with his bears on a spiritual…

When the bear awoke from hibernation and found himself in the middle of a factory, he was an outsider to the factory workers. Because the factory workers had never seen a bear at the factory and the only bears they had ever seen were either in the circus or at the zoo, they made an assumption that it couldn’t be a bear. Instead, they insisted that the ‘bear’ was actually a silly man…
