Title: Ah, memories...
Post by: Adam_Fulford on Mar 15 07 07:52
Once, animals had a go at me when I was lying wounded on the side of a road. It somehow didn't seem real when it was happening.  As a nature documentary commentator said, "Nature, in her wisdom, provides an efficient industry of scavengers to cull the dead or near dying from her lush bounty."

I was watching a nature documentary and it brought back memories.  As for your questions, I did already answer it. Wounded or dying creatures -- including humans -- can quickly become meals for a range of scavengers.  It's a well known fact. I'm surprised that anybody would be surprised by that.  I'm alive and well and I'm not complaining. Just sharing a memory that, truth be told, is not a particularly uncommon kind of experience in many parts of the world.

well...it seems that we cannot read minds...and that sharing more than what you did would help us understand what your memory has to do with animals scavenging on the roadside.  You aren't looking at it from our point....we don't understand what you are talking about...but the messed up way that you put it looks cool!  LOL

It goes over real well at cocktail parties, delivered with a smiling face and chirpy voice.  Then I bring up the weather and celebrity gossip with a disconcerting intensity. That really throws them off.

Occasionally people will recount anecdotes from their past that may have been of great significance in their lives, but they express them in such a way that people don't understand them. This can be quite confusing. Even so, sometimes they are very useful to them.

Interesting observation, articulately expressed. You're weren't being deliberately vague, unlike one of us here. There are a number of methods a person can use to tell stories so that people understand them. I'm generally more interested in listening to people than talking about myself (though, I am talking about myself, saying this).

  Actually Adam, I was being deliberately vague, or at least I thought I was until I read this just now. This makes me kind of uneasy. Have I failed to make myself unclear??
