The biblical parable of twin brothers Jacob and Esau, found in the Book of Genesis, is the story of humankind’s transition from the independence of nomadic life to the restrictions of civilization.
This is a fine analysis of human choices and changes over the course of history, Jerry. I'm impressed with your ability to make a case, though I didn't need to be persuaded. I am one of those who seeks wildness fairly often and experiences ongoing extreme dismay at the world as it has come to be. I appreciate the lesson on Jacob and Esau, whose story I never considered in such depth--thank you!
