RE: The Tiger raised by Goats: After thoughts, Aftermath, and Happily ever After

in #fiction6 years ago

I had to look up your original tale. Loved it.

The tiger could never find happiness living with the goat herd. To do so would compromise his very nature. It would lead only to despair, as he would always long to be himself.

Eventually he would resent the goats for not being like him.

Sort:  

He could even come to hate his own existence, living between two Worlds, belonging to neither..
Ancient Hindu tale i believe; i heard it through a collection of Joseph Campbell lectures.. Eastern Philosophy..
