The joys of lone wolfishness are well known to me and your point is well taken. The word forced was what came through for the story, but, yes. It would be the ‘conditioned way’ of being.

And, thank you for the correction as to the origin of the wolf story. Being a wolf lover I have heard and treasured most of them. I appreciate knowing the story had other origins. Makes more sense that way. I agree wholeheartedly and whole-wolfishly with the Christianity, Star Wars and Western Civ byblows of the G vs E game. One that must end. Because it must.
