Rule of the Jungle!!

Remember your acts of wildness when you were born?

Someone rightly said:

"Child is the father of man"

I don't know what really to be inferred from this but what I actually did is as:
Whatever we have learned about the evolution and mankind is only because of the new generation. Imagine a world where everyone is elder to you and no new births occurred after you. Your whole life would be puzzled. You won't have a clue as to why you does a particular thing.

Anyways, what I wanted to share is the basic instinct you possesses. I have heard somewhere that the rule of the jungle is - Survival of the fittest. This thought initiated a stream of thoughts on why is this rule and what are the aftereffects? And is this rule a fallacy? What if this is not a rule and only an illusion? Why is that humans are not actually following this rule ( I think we follow survival of the smartest rule ;))

Well, to start with if everyone in the jungle know this rule then it is natural to them to be the fittest, if not, try to be. When ever i used to see street dogs fighting with each other I always have observed that the weakest dog usually pull his jaws wide open to show his sharp canines and also puff his fur to increase in volume. And many a times this helped the dog.

As a part of the jungle we always have this instinct in ourselves. Whenever we are in vicinity of any stranger the sense of insecurity creeps in. We tend to be more aggressive. We think we are more likely to get hurt. And the defense mechanism of our body prepares ourselves to face the situation. And you won't even know about it. The effect is you try to break the ice yourself or at least tend to. Usually all tries to be superior in front of others because of this.

This turns them a little hostile. They tend to react negatively. You will always find people are not very comfortable with strangers in the first meeting. All credit goes to this very instinct. Then there are people who are very easy-going. We call them "people's man". We know that he has some charm and knows a way around people. But all he do is show others that he is harmless.

You wanna try? Just watch small children's actions when you try to behave hostile to them compared to when you behave nice to them, if you can. Kids know this sub-consciously. So, whatever you do just believe in youself and remember the basic rule of jungle.

Once you know how to control this you can be the king of the jungle!!!
