Everyone has to learn to deal with their 'tiger'

"I think the tiger is symbolic of life's circumstances, darling.
Somethings seem to be the only way of life one knows.
They think that is immutable ...a constant ...a permanent element of their life.
And suddenly they realise, this isn't the case.
And after the initial tears ...no love is lost.
Though lessons are learnt and are taken away to help live the rest of one's life ...and pass that lesson on to others too."
