How To Be A Lone Wolf

How can I be a lone wolf?

I can’t tell you how you can become a lone wolf but I can tell how I became one.In certain aspects, I’m an idealist. I like things to work my way. I don’t like compromises. I believe that the fewer strings I’m attached with, the more close I can get to idealism.Over time, I have gradually and unknowingly cut numerous strings of my life - of work, family, permanent home, society, friendships, relationships. As a result, I can work at my pace, place, time and preferences. I can only be with people I choose to be with and can leave them at my will. There are very few externals governing my life. I’m responsible for my delight, and I alone am responsible for my doom.Being a lone wolf brings you in the judgemental radar of the society. My neighbours think I’m a jobless, rogue guy and my distant friends think I’m going to Thailand to get laid. Human stupidity may be a reason enough to become a lone wolf but our strings with the society won’t let us to. Since I have snapped off those strings and no longer care what they think, it has been easier for me to become a lone wolf.But it’s not rosy up here as you would imagine. Idealism has as many downsides as it has upsides. Not being attached to many strings provide me with the flexibility, but it also robs me the support when I fall down. While I can have the life I desire, I’ll always miss strong bonds with a place, home, and people. While I can work from anywhere in the world, I’ll always miss “water-cooler chats”, weekend hangouts and after-office parties. While I can always choose the people I want to be with, I’ll always find it hard to share my gloomiest sorrows and happiest moments with someone. This is the price I pay to be a lone wolf. Being a lone wolf isn’t a positive or negative thing. It’s a matter of preference. It’s about asking yourself, “is it worth paying the price”?I wouldn’t have answered this if this was asked by someone else, Bir Chatterjee!

Would a lone wolf be able to survive?

There have been a widely spread belief that lone wolves are lonely (pun intended), dangerous, unpredictable, not natural etc because wolves live in packs.Wrong!There are times in a wolf’s life that it will be lonely. Let me explain.Wolves live in family units which comprise of the parents and 2–3 season’s pups. The older sexually matured pups usually leave their family in search for their own mate, territories and then start their own family.Therefore a lone wolf is not usually a sorry case. He/She has spent between 2 - 3 years learning how to hide, hunt, fight, seek shelter etc and is quite an accomplished survivor by now.So yes, a lone wolf have a very good chance of survival.Unless, the wolf ended up being alone due to disease or injury, in which case, the answer is a no.
