Why we're wild about forest boy | Anouchka Grose

five years in the woods is one thing. But civilization is too much for the response of Germany to Mowgli?

when all humans lived in the desert. Then they invented concrete supermarkets, and iPhones. Now if a human being to survive in the desert for any length of time other humans the opportunity to hear the news.

course, the story of a "child of the forest" Germany has other fascinating features. Not only apparently living in the woods with his father for five years, also seems to be no Remember life before that. He believes his mother died in a car accident, but has no idea why he and his father soon left to nature. Perhaps in the coming days and weeks we will learn to learn more about what happened, but in the meantime all we know for sure is that the youth named Ray English was published in Berlin with a very strange story to tell.

tales of wild men and wild children have been around for a long time. According to history books, the results of an extended period in the wilderness can go two ways. It is possible that, like Romulus and Remus, Jesus, or Merlin, returns as a leader and / or a prophet. Or, as Kaspar Hauser, Mowgli or Tarzan, you can find any human society is a bit much.

In the ages 18 and 19 appear to have been particularly interested in hearing about the children of the forest and, as such, as he promised an answer to the question of whether humans are inherently good or bad. People are born pure and decent, before being stained by our company despicable? O born full of evil, which is then tamed by civilization wonderful

If I could find someone that has been contaminated by human contact would have been his answer. The problem was that you could not know if you were an angel or a brute to be with them and had already set the plan. (Some authors found that at present the best move was only to say what you like.)

However, everything seems to have decreased the level of interest of the people who made the time between the beasts and shrubs. Perhaps in these days, the nagging question is less about the moral condition of the human race of what life would be without the buffer buffer of civilization.

What if you had to pick up their food directly instead of working for someone who works for someone who works for someone who pays to pay the next person you pay for you can to shop online? Are you hungry? Or was it an incredible version? And it's frightening that her life is threatened by the cunning strategies and wild boardroom? Looks like we just replaced a horror game with another.

Although humans have been incredibly clever to leave the forest and central heating, safe, we have in the process of becoming more stupid to live in the forest. In a shallow self-destructive to the brilliance that is

well

good relationship with nature that most of us really could not make changes over the first. Sounds like an incredible feat to have overcome about five years. Not only that, but left her looking healthy and feeling good, as Ray tells us.
A well-known side effect of our self-exiled genius of the desert is that from the window of a car or a television screen, the "nature" can seem very attractive. Sparkling to kill or be killed by hell, heaven. But we also know that it is an illusion, and it is difficult over there.
