Being a doting mother, I often think about the question of security and the comfort of feeling “safe” in this big, wide, nasty world. So, I am going to pose a question to you gentle folk that I would like answered fairly quickly, if you will, as it is something I want answered on gut feeling. So please humour me and put aside that logic and reasoning, ok? Don’t be sensible and work out too many ifs and buts!! Try to work on gut instinct for a moment.
Q.
If you were to be living in the wild (as you, not as an animal), where would you feel safest? For example; underground, on ground level, or above (e.g. in a tree), or maybe somewhere else?
Of course your answer may depend on the imaginary wild-place in the first place…when I posed the question to myself, I immediately imagined being in a remote (native) woodland, and came up with my preference….and I must say I was a little surprised, actually! I thought I would revert to type and prefer ground level, but when I imagined it, it was underground where I would have felt safest. Surprising to me as I am not happiest in closed, confined spaces!
Btw, there's no particular agenda here, just my sheer, idle curiosity. And I know there must be people on this forum who can identify with this sort of bizarre thinking (i.e. I am not the only nutter! lol!)
