It is said, when you see a lion, for example, in a cage, you are only really seeing a projection of it, a precious life, devoid of a purpose. To truly understand a lion, one must encounter it in the context of it's natural environment, engaged in hunting, procreation and defense.

In this way, humans are not much different from the other animals that inhabit our planet. For us, freedom, along with Health, Love and Purpose are the most valuable aspects of our lives. And when one or more is taken away, the likelihood of our finding Sustainable Happiness is severely curtailed. However, what is also different where humans are concerned, is that oddly, we may actually be capable of denying our own freedom. This seems illogical, in light of the fact that the science of biology tells us that the drive to survive and thrive is innate, hard-wired if you will into all living things. What then might be the biological imperative for essentially becoming imprisoned, by our own actions? Examples might include: a man or woman who remains in an abusive relationship, choosing to stay in spite of the fact that their physical and emotional well being is threatened; or a person who ingests drugs, alcohol or tobacco to excess, knowingly destroying their health, in pursuit of momentary pleasures or as a distraction from inner demons. This type of self destructive behavior does not appear anywhere else in the animal kingdom, to my knowledge.
