" Animals, like humans, make in life
the mistakes that will ultimately
lead to their death, either physically
or on a spiritual and emotional
level. People and animals that
stay on the same paths in life will
eventually wear themselves into ruts.
Soon the ruts become so deep that
the people can no longer see over
the sides. They see neither danger,
or beauty, only the path before
them because they fear losing their
security and are afraid to enter the
land of the unknown. "
