For ages man has been occupied with the hunt. The hunt served to give men a sense of purpose and women a break from men. The hunt has proven valuble for sedating society. Think about it...
scenario 1
Hunter: Why does he get to be chief? when I get back from hunting were going to talk about that.
after the hunt
Hunter: man that was a great hunt! We killed something, hung out and expended all of our excess energy. time for a nap.
nowadays, the hunt is manifested in other ways. We are asked to pursue impossible goals at work in an attempt to have us "remain productive during workhours" (yes I realize the irony of writing this while I'm at work) The problem is that these hunts divert attention and resources from the things that are working and funnels them to the insignificant. I had a conversation with a co-worker about this phenomenon and she told me that these practices don't make sense. Well of course they dont make sense they were never intended to. How could a unicorn hunt make sense?
Q: If i told you I was off to hunt unicorns with seashell darts from Pachebels Canon and my brother told you he was going to hunt unicorns with a hunting rifle, who do you trust to return with unicorn meat?
A: Neither
regardless of the tool, if you are off on a mythical journey you will return with a myth or excuses.
