I just watched the documentary Grizzly Man on the Discovery Channel. It's very emotional, and very, very sad . . . But I must agree that he was determined at his own destruction. There was no way any person could survive their entire life in doing such things as he did. But he also, really, had a determination to save the animals, so much as to blatantly defy the government, in order to enforce his idea of protection. He believed that only he could protect the animals of the grizzly maze . . . not a park protection, or even a government. He believed in a universal harmony, and refused repeatedly to accept the true nature of things: that animals, just like the humans he cursed, were, and are, murderers, that will kill to survive, even kill their "only protector". It was obvious by the latter parts of the film that he was becoming increasingly eccentric and paranoid, which was especially apparent as he repeatedly, verbally, attacked the human world. But, even so, he was innocent, almost childish, in his worship of the animals, and it was so, so apparent that he really, really loved these animals, even though he knew that they could kill him, and very well might. He was dedicated, and he did have a death wish. But he lived his life to protect those bears, and those foxes, and the animals of the grizzly maze. And, when watching those tapes, you could see that those animals had an intelligence, and the entire documentary was inspiring. It was sad. It made you really fear that bear, when you looked in his eyes, and knew that that bear killed a man, killed the man that lived his life to protect them. It made you love those animals that he loved, and died from. He swore to fight the government, just to protect those animals . . . and that is truly inspiring.

Now, everyone who hasn't seen this video is probably laughing now . . . But if you see it, you will either think he is some left-wing maniac, or you will agree with me: that Grizzly Man was an inspiring tale that told the story of a man who overcame drug abuse and drinking to exile himself among these animals and to swear his life to protect them, and made you know that there is still some goodness in the human race.
