In Defense of Wolves

Imperfections in character in behavior and in psyche is what developed some of the most artistic personalities. To excuse is too much to ask but to understand that being human is to be weak and to be failing and to be predator vs prey leads us to this place where we admire the wolf but not how it stalks and kills it's prey. We become outraged at the violence and the tendencies that it demonstrates because the actions revile us but yet we crave to see more and more of it in its natural habitat.
We want our Movie Stars to be perfect.

We want our Presidents to be chaste. We want the people that bring us our entertainment to be perfect shining examples of humanity. Not recognizing that sanding the imperfections down to nothing leaves you with nothing that has any type of edge or bite. We hate the crimes but love the creativity that the roughest brushes produce.

The very things that made the Harvey Weinstein's and the Kevin Spacey's so electrifying was that they would take a risks and produce Video Clerk's Script called Pulp Fiction. Kevin Spacey would put it out and create American Beauty a film that still chokes me up. I hate the fact that they did what they did but the creativity that they exhibited was an embodiment of genius that we simply couldn't get without the nasty edge of humanity.

A white marker on a whiteboard makes nothing memorable.
