We call ourselves civilized...??
We, as a race, pamper ourselves with theories and discoveries of how we evolved over other species and how we have grown to be the most dominant one.
The elaborate societies we have developed along with strong cultures and technologies, supposedly supporting and strengthening our existence.
But is it really so..???
The first trait of civilization and development should be the elimination of the threat to survival, if not completely from outside then at least from within !
But the popular notion of 'survival of the fittest' based on which we 'the humans' have come thus far seems to be at play, on a bigger stage, within the race as well... which is to me - Sad and Disappointing!
Because as I see it... within the society the weapons for survival are not just forged from biological superiority, but goes beyond to intellect (mildly acceptable) and stoops low to the the prevalence of circumstances, accumulation of wealth and support, and developing, what we have so heartily accepted and advertised, social networking!
Why...???
I ask, Why can't we, as a race, as a society, as a developed and civilized species guarantee, in the least, that all members will have equal opportunities or lesser still that members won't have to put up a fight against other members?
That my success wouldn't or doesn't have to mean the downfall of another?
That I do not have to keep proving myself to others, time and again, that I am fit for survival.
That I do not have to look up to other for their permission for survival!
For what we, as a race, have achieved and developed thus far is for US.. ALL of Us!
Just that the 'Society', as it appears to me now, doesn't function for all.
But so intrinsic has it become to our survival that man has truly become - 'a Social Animal'!
