So, today's bit is from Jack London's 'The Call of the Wild', the much loved and acclaimed classic.
This raises a fundamental question about the relativity of values in a given matrix. Are they the right values if they do not help us prosper or even survive? What use would our principles and codes of conduct be if the demands of time and place weaken and even, to some extent, render our very existence futile?
Given the current sociopolitical milieu, the fundamental questions raised by London's timeless text cannot but haunt us. Again and again.
