Struggle for survival to Survival of the fittest.....





WE all have learnt Darwin's evolution theory in our school curriculum....which talks about survival of the fittest..the concept begins with struggle for existence and sums up with a philosophy that only the fittest creature survive..in short only those who have the guts to fight it out have a place on this planet....many a times we bow down because of the adversities in our lives and give up and forget that if we do not fight we wont exist......

Today afternoon I saw a classic case of survival of the fittest....Me and my friend went to this place called Harsh Bakery to get our lunch....as the place was crowded we placed orders for our parcels and came out.....there I witnessed this awesome thing.... since the place is a eating joints it has many dustbin where the food lovers throw the wastes and because of the dustbins in the place there exists a symbiosis of birds, cats and dogs....this whole episode happened in fraction of moments...this dog was relishing the left overs and suddenly one small kitten and a crow arrived to join the party...the dog resisted initially with full energy and by looking at his stance the crow fled off from the place....however the small kitten who resisted the dog bravely (you can see the last picture ) and by looking at the cat's aggression the dog left the food and fled away.....

This small incidence sparked a flow of thought in my mind.... and I tried to relate this incidence to our life...we all come across adversities as they say life is not a cake walk....but the choice remains with us.....the choice to be the crow and fly away and not to fight for our own thing or to be the kitten who fought the adversity bravely to get what she wanted....... We have to make choice whether to give up and get extinct or to fight and become fit and survive...............
So lets fight out and survive.....what say friends........

  1. Survival is actually quite relative. It entirely depends upon why you want to survive. Animals in fact have only one motive....human beings are pretty different and complex with so many motives. And these motives define the struggle and fight.

  2. Nilesh I think survival is always about not giving up the word signifies that fight against something be it anything...it is about the instincts of giving up or fighting it out....and as someone had said long back every single thing is relative....

  3. Very well said honey...but does merely surviving mean that your are living your life to its fullest? We all are part of this gigantic race to 'survive' in this world , sometimes by hook or by crook...sometimes we are the dog who runs away and sometimes we are the cat who stays strong....
    but what matters the most is we go beyond survival and LIVE the life...be alive truly!

  5. Nice Harshu! A very positive message about fighting with odds. Irespective of Cause of fighting COURAGE is more imp.
    Many of our fears are tissue paper thin, and a single courageous step would carry us clear through them.
