I know this is a little outlandish but I've always wanted a brown bear. Ever since I read the book Gentle Ben when I was a child I've always thought a bear would make an excellent companion. Obviously I wouldn't actually keep one if the opportunity arose, but its an enticing day dream none the less. I've always preferred predatory animals just because I find their demeanour much easier to understand and work with. A bear would be truly something to own, I can imagine taking walks through the woods together, fishing in the stream, and napping in long grass in the high afternoon sun . Any time I see a person online or on television working with a bear I always feel very jealous of them, it must be a truly wonderful experience to be able to bond with such an amazing creature.
I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent and omnipotent God would have designedly created parasitic wasps with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of Caterpillars.
