You can't defy your nature.

Ok, so I have not posted any project pictures. I have been working on a few things but I've been a bit philosophical for roughly the last 2 years.

I've had this theory that ultimately you cannot defy your nature; that is to say you can try to be something or someone else but your true nature will eventually shine through. If your are lazy by nature you may take a new job and as we say where I am from, "you might make a hand" for a while but in the end your laziness will overtake you and you will end up not working hard at the task at hand. I have worked with several such fellows over the years. They start out sprinting and end up crawling and finally just lying there.

Take an example from the animal kingdom. Take a mountain lion as some have done and make it a pet. Yes, I know it is pure foolishness but some have done just this very thing. In many cases the lion ends up hurting someone because it is large and powerful and quite simply built for killing. More importantly, the hunt and the kill are in it's genetic make up, in it's very instinct. It's nature can be altered but will probably overtake any training it may have had and in the end you are playing with fire.

Now if you will excuse me I have to go work out. My running shoes are calling me and I cannot resist their wispering voice.
