Humans still face primal malevolence

Japanese boy " abandoned " in wild forest

It seems that these Japanese parents just wanted to teach " bad boy " ( spoiled brat ? ) a lesson.But like most civilized human beings forgot how cruel Mother Nature can be.

    On the whole the " beautiful " universe treats human beings with benign indifference.But the so called Good Earth often seems positively malevolent to us.

   Those eerie wild woods are a terrible place to get quickly and hopelessly lost.

    The city is just as bad with rats in your toilet bowl and deadly spiders crawling up your bed sheets at 3:00 AM in the morning. And a radio report : WARNING- tornado alert in the Washington County area.

   No escape from the heart of darkness in human affairs either.

    Hug that little boy lost when they find him.The only guardian angels are mortal humans who still LOVE despite everything coldly and cruelly opposed to it- and the only anti-dote to our ancient, primal fears.

     And LOVE the only bridge between the living and the dead.


A classic horror story of malevolence of Nature
