Rhinos are plenty adaptable to circumstances; We have had to be for multi-millions of years. Sometimes things look rosy, sometimes not so rosy.
When Nature changes things up, We seek opportunities to adapt ourselves, or possibly relocate.
Boxed in, We make do with what’s available. Rhinos endure, as best We can.
Caligula was an Emperor of ancient Rome. He was hard to adore, though he thought he was a god. In time, everybody had had it with his pranks, so his guards killed him… in 41 AD.
Even back then, there was a Limit, you know?
The difference between up here and down there can be surprisingly tenuous.
This is called “The Uh-Oh Factor”.
…is worth a pound of cure, says the adage. Rhinos in the Wild take this idea seriously. When We have a medical problem, our systems have to be shipshape, primed, and ready to repair Us.
Rhinos have no doctors nor medicine, just the combined vim of the plants We eat as our steady diet.
Happily, Nature gives Rhinos the sense to eat right, and that way, We come out OK. Often.
Timing is often a crucial factor in the course of a Rhino’s life. For instance, what if Today is Your Best Day Ever?
Wouldn’t it be too bad if you hadn’t noticed it as it wandered by?
That’s right. Time to pay attention to the present.
Though it is a pleasure to present oneself nicely, Adversity is not impressed by appearances, nor by good spelling.
Adversity has a system all its own, which no Rhino has yet figured out.
Rhinos have misgivings every so often. It’s true.
Doubt makes a poor bedfellow. Doubt does not share the pillow or the blanket; it takes over.
Sleepless nights are far from the worst of it.
Rhinos are fond of the board game Snakes and Ladders, also called Chutes and Ladders, etc. The idea is We go forward and have opportunities of a surprising nature, or step on a snake and slip backwards and try again.
Echoing the Rhino Life Experience, there are no guarantees, just experiences which work out one way or another.
We are showing dice, but there are only three numbers on them, 2 sets. Rhinos can’t count above that, so We make do. Rhinos hang tough.
It is all very well to be complacent, cruising along, awash in self-confidence, gratified in one’s own company, having it all.
Such a Rhino might forget to look both ways when crossing the street. Then, Whoops.
We at Your Inner Rhino are full of it, Sass that is, which proves that a weekend of idleness has positive results… or that We are lucky. We don’t go into these questions too carefully for fear We won’t like what We find out.
Why poke the sleeping warthog, right?
Onward.
