The StarTribune carried a 3-15-2014 article on Isabelle the one wolf from Isle Royale killed by a pellet gun after crossing an ice bridge to the mainland. Reporter Josephine Marcotty wrote this interesting article.
Isabelle left her island and her pack in search of a mate. She had been repeatedly attacked by other wolves, driving her away from her home territory and pack. She belonged to neither pack and all lone wolves are subject to being attacked by members of any pack which they encounter.
The researchers believe that lone wolves are nature's way of preventing inbreeding as lone wolves leave their home pack and territory in search of a new mate elsewhere, to start a new pack.
This raises many questions? Did Isabelle leave because it was her choice, or the pack's choice. Probably both. Why was Isabelle selected by nature, the pack or herself to be outted and made a lone wolf? Is the lone wolf the best of the litter, or its runt, the ugly duckling. I would argue that the lone wolf is the superior one.
Cougars, deer and other animals likely have their version of lone wolves, pushed out and away for species preservation. It would be of worth to study if this principle of lone wolfism is common in all of nature, especially with primates and apes, our close cousins. Then we could speculate and theorize about parallels to human behavior.
I was never one to be thwarted by generous amounts of speculating, without any evidence to support my theory, so here goes. I have always been a lone wolf. I was outted, spurned, attacked and pushed out and on repeatedly for 60 years by my family, my community, and peer groups of many kinds, religious, social and in the business place.
I have been repeatedly beleaguered and forced out all my life. This is why I urge that we pass constitutional protection to halt or soften the relentless attacks upon individualists by joiners of all ilks and descriptions.
Is this ruthless outting is a natural pattern of behavior between majority ins and those outted victims? I would answer yes. Is the rejection and persecution a matter of loner choice (rarely) or roles assigned by the popular majority. Society imposes these roles on the individual.
I pose that the lone wolf is the best of the litter (remember superiority is based on courage to be and the courage to develop, not innate talent). Therefore being outted from the group is terrifying, and horrifying for the outted loner, and often dangerous. Many of us are killed, burned at the stake, end up in prison, turn criminal, commit suicide, or live a life of debauchery and waste. A few of us somehow get through the gauntlet.
Forcing some of us to leave our groups is likely how nature and God (natural law) planned for us to have a few brave souls unwillingly nudged foreign from their warm, familiar packs to amount to something to uplift, invent, build and forge new trails for the benefit of all.
Under my Mavellonialist philosophy, we would ethically, legally and formally prevent groups from tearing everyone up while brutalizing individual minorities in their midst. Under my more civilized plan, we would allow the vast majority of youngsters to self-realize their individual talent while moving in and out of groups with the full popularity and approval of everyone.
That way all gain from leaving and living as lone wolves, and all can return to the pack as long as they feel like it without grand drama, vitriol and violent reactions.
I have suffered long and hard for the sake of humanity, and suppressed individualists everywhere. I have been God's instrument for bringing justice and equal treatment to this world. I have been honored for the chance to serve, and will serve as long as I live. My life has not been easy, but it has been most satisfying.
