Marine and the Hippie 211204 S01E34- The Rabid Wolves

The Marine and the Hippie

in this dialogue, we discuss an extended metaphor of the sheep, the shepherd, the wolf and the Rabid Wolves. The sheep are just living their lives: their task is to follow. The Shepherd's role is to protect and teach. The wolf's role is to act and provide an outlet for human energy. All people can play all these roles in different contexts. And when balanced in society, each serves a very valuable function, and the society is healthy as a result. However, the problem comes when some of the wolves become sick and begin to think that they must dominate and act far more aggressively than they need to. In a sense, the rabid wolf is a symptom of a sick society. And as we live in a society that seems to place value on the one who dominates and crushes others, we spread the sickness to more and more people, and the society leaves the healthy balance. Eventually, if unchecked, the rabid nature of the wolves will overtake and kill the society, just like what ails us as a society will eventually kill our society. We finish the show with excerpts of the Call to Prayer in Turkey forming the backdrop for Dylan's closing remarks.
