The tiger is a curious animal. It is a solitary creature that has a huge home range that it explores constantly. It is also a very capable animal having edified itself over aeons and aeons by its actions and its behaviours. Man used to harness similar attributes before he discovered science and industry, and progress. Now, after just a few hundred years, man has abandoned his tigerhood and replaced it with poodlehood, man now being some kind of over-domesticated (enslaved) pet (of the new world order of 'destruction for data').
Naturally, there are those amongst us who have not abandoned their tigerhood or who have, better still, retrieved their tigerhood by recognizing and shedding their poodlehood. And it is these tigers, these naturally abiding creatures (or as naturally abiding as you can within a distorted and man-dominated world), that we should be listening to. When the tiger roars, you should listen... otherwise you run the risk of being devoured by your monster called Progress.
