Survival...

Learn everything that comes your way. Either you know it all or you don’t survive.
With the experience of working/being with people from different backgrounds of experience, nationalities, education, upbringing et al, I or may be even you can say that in current state of world of fierce competition the natural law fits, “preservation of favored races in the struggle for existence”.
But what are the basis of such favorism or what are the protocols for natural ( more of artificial now) selection. One who was favored yesterday may not be favored tomorrow. It’s a continuous fight trying to improve, a fight with self to be better each day. Nature does not define the levels or extent of competition. Each day we desire to be better than yesterday and we lay more stringent deadlines or targets for self and each time we falter or fail, we whine.
The principal is “Survival of the fittest” but the abstract side of this is “What works”!
Whether you want to call it survival, dominance or superiority, the standard is simply "what works."
It’s about whatever works for you, works for your survival, fits the survival equation.
Suit yourself, suit what eventually turns out to be in your favor. Be it s personal relationship or professional assignment, its about turning the whole outcome in your favor.
From the basics, tiny kids to school children to teenagers to adults, each of us manipulate our ways for surviving. The evolution theory is merely a concept and we have managed to provide many corollaries to this theory, the theory that laid to the basis of natural selectionà struggle for existence à survival of the fittest.
The morality part of the theory is lost or is a mere fallacy. The concept was/is used as a justification for violence but the wise men put it as a concept that supports co-operation rather than competition. A competition where it’s not about being better than but about being able to swamp that are better.
The implicit/underlying meaning, does it say “treat the weak badly or ignore or neglect them”. My candid reply to this is, “I don’t know, am not in a position to comment, am trying to fit my survival”.
Am still trying to learn how long I can sustain the struggle and continue surviving…while I do have some part of my morality intact!
