The Lone Wolf

 The lone wolf

Only exists 

In a pack

Wolves are

Social 

By nature

People are

Social by

Choice and nature 

You can work

As the pack

With the-

social contract 

But the pack

Can lead-

to abhorrent deeds

It’s up to you 

Or is it.

Update a day later, this reminds me of this quote:

“The smallest minority on earth is the individual […]”

-Ayn Rand

Update 3 days after originally posting it, Shane Bugbee tweeted something I feel is in line with this writing:

Also this quote here feels in line as well:

“I became aware of my destiny: to belong to the critical minority as opposed to the unquestioning majority”

-Sigmund Freud

2/19/23 update: this quote from Nietzsche resonates with this I feel;

“Aristotle says that in order to live alone one must either be an animal or a god. The third alternative is lacking. A man must be both; a philosopher.” - Friedrich Nietzsche
