What is a jungle to some is a cake walk to others, there are few jungles I wouldn't trade for just now. It just depends on the animals involved and your resources to adiquately defend against them. In mine, the resources have been abused and I must face tooth and claw in a deminished fashion, in a very harsh jungle indeed, by any standards, one in which there can be no mistakes and no forgiveness. There is much to rebuild within to restore the confidence that once ruled supreme.
There is no "This" jungle, only the derivitive of such that you find yourself in, and if in an unfamiliar one, even though it had been familiar in the past, it can hold many things never before experienced or prepared for when faced with less support, love, friendship and trust then you had previously relied upon to maintain balance in self and a knowledge that you are unconqurable and uncompromisable in your values. To discover differently is to discover weakness, which to some, in proper context, is intolerable. And it has nothing to do with Gender issues.
