A rabbit in a cage can live up to 10 years. Fed on schedule. Protected from predators. Safe.
A wild rabbit? Lucky to make it past 3.
Every day is a gamble. Every night, a prayer.
But here’s the thing: if given the choice, the rabbit would still choose the wild.
Why?
Because freedom isn’t a luxury—it’s a birthright.
And sometimes, a short life fully lived is worth more than a long one half-experienced.
The Illusion of “A Life Lived Well”
We’re told to optimise: to conform, to biohack; to avoid risk, minimise danger, sanitise our life – all to extend our timeline.
And so we trade instinct for instruction; joy for safety; freedom for longevity.
We convince ourselves we’re living “well” – ticking all the boxes, dodging all the dangers, keeping our heads down – but deep down, we know there’s something missing.
We can become like caged rabbits: comfortable, sanitised, protected and numb.
So what does the Wild Rabbit Know?
The wild rabbit runs through open fields, heart pounding, fully alive.
It knows hunger. It knows danger. But it also knows nature and the wind.
It knows choice. It knows freedom.
And it would never trade freedom for an extra seven years of sterile captivity.
And So What About You?
Would you rather have 100 years of careful, curated, predictable existence?
Or 60 years of real laughter, real risks, real love, and real agency?
Would you rather be safe or sovereign?
Because a long life isn’t always a good one.
And a good life isn’t always a long one.
We weren’t made to last forever—we were made to live. Not just to survive… but to thrive and choose. To feel. To run wild when it calls us.
The Real Question
It’s not “How long can I make it”? but “How real am I willing to be”?
Because in the end, no one remembers how long the rabbit lived, but how fast it ran and how free it was.
Life is an adventure: let’s live it, experience it & love it all!
