Masters of the game ?

Humans are the most destructive creatures to ever set foot on this planet. This may give the false belief that humans are the toughest, whereas in reality humans are weak creatures. A human baby cannot walk till its one year old and cannot feed itself till its more than 3 or 4 years and cannot live on its own until it reaches the teens. Whereas a tiger cub starts hunting in just one year and can live on its own by the time it is two. A deer can run barely half and hour after it is born. Given a patch of land, only we humans and elephants can make it bare. While all animals kill only to fulfill their hunger, only the humans kill for beliefs. Basically humans are weaklings, they cannot survive on their own, and they always need to be told that there is some supreme power above who takes care of him. So, when two groups believe in different supreme powers, it is only a matter of time before one groups starts believing that their supreme power is more or less powerful than the other group’s one. Here starts a clash between the two groups on whose power is supreme. The core reason behind every war is this belief. What if you are told that the thing you believe is not so powerful at all, there is something else which is more powerful? You are now confused- well you may not be now, but a thousand years ago when people were not like us, they would have been confused, the opportunists would convert to the new faith while the rest would condemn it or even fight against this change.

Darwin’s theory of natural selection does not include humans, atleast now. “survival of the fittest” ? In the twenty first century, this theory doesn’t hold good. If only the toughest were to survive then we would not be 6 billion in numbers, it would have been far lesser. Not now though now we have reservations for people who cannot. Humans are not the toughest, we are the opportunists. One human cannot take on a lion by himself, so he uses team work and his well developed intellect and modern equipment to take on the lion. We are well and truly the masters of the game and are marching towards a global destruction of the animal kingdom where one day, only the humans will be left, then our survival instincts take over and we would start killing one another for food, like how the our ancestors did some ten thousand years ago.
