All this inside a mainstream newspaper, no less!

"The hyena is my favourite – my totem – animal. For me, there is no
special mystery to the lion: he's a smug fatcat, the 'king of the
jungle' only because he looks the part (to us)...

If I could be transformed into any other creature, I would choose to
be a hyena, for one night at least; if I could taste that otherworld,
even for only a few hours, I would be profoundly grateful."

Theres a cure for that: go camping for a few weeks. Somewhere remote.
Backpacking is best. If you read the whole article its obvious he's
tired of the built world of mankind. So, ditch it for a while :)

Maybe its its tendency to resurrect 6 month old threads and ask stupid
questions that causes that?
