Survival of the Fittest ( but which is fit?)
They say those who adapt to constant changes of environment are the ones,
truly fit to survive.
But what is being "fit?"
One who bows to the one with power?
Letting self go below their evils for sake of survival...
Or
The other who goes against, because the evil
which the one with power intents to spread, in his/her mind, isn't ethical...
We're talking survival here. Survival only.
Consider a situation in North Korea.
That piece of shit dictator has stupid amount of power
(in thanks to his daddy and pops).
He has girls. A school to especially educate
young girls to grow up to be his personal/military whore
(taking the prettiest for himself).
Would it be considered smarter to just go with his greed?
And become... their personal slut?
Living life as a belonging
Or
As a girl, knowing his ideas are corrupt
go in hiding
to save young girls from their nasty pit
sending, freeing them to a different country...
Now, we all know option2 is much more risky and considered "honorable"
yet if we're talking "fitness" here,
then isn't option2 considered to be "unfit?"
leaving 1... the "fit"
But we can also think of it this way:
the person who adapted option2 was aware of corruptness
so she was "adapting" to change fates of young girls...
Yet still,
1 was aware of situation of who is in power
so she simply went for what's "best" for her security.
They both adapted...
but isn't this called the "survival of the fittest?"
Surviving...to live on...continue life...
Yet, those who stand against for the "better"
their memories are left with their deeds.
Isn't that still living?
Just in mind?
The ones who bow down are forgotten easily,
because one classify them as "insignificant."
So, they die in minds.
Not "fit" to live...
But what is truly living?
Living as in physical form, breathing, alive.
or
Living as in minds of others
their legend being passed down even after death of form.
Survival of the fittest...
Who survived more?
or,
"Better"
(Remember, this is not a matter of dignity or accomplishments,
it's about the idea to "live" and "survive")
I guess... in the end
it's about how each individuals decides to survive and live life itself.
In what is living...
How do you wish to survive?
truly fit to survive.

At the end was just a personal question.
I know there are ones with no choice.
But I was considering other ways in which we would survive.
Questioning the whole idea of living life itself.
Thank you for this note.
I can even further clarify in what I meant.

profound musings...Kim Jon Un, Harvey Weinstein, Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu...there always seem to be nasty control freaks around challenging our own morality...I guess the important thing is that we have a morality and ask ourselves these questions...all things pass....

This has given me much to ponder H and yes opinion 2 is me even if it is harder and I think we all might change our minds depending on what we ourselfs have to go through,
Young vs old wise vs dumb, I think survival of the fittest is the human race it self we have merged with some cultures and others we have completely destroyed we are now the six mass destruction of the planet,
And I think survival of the fittest will be how much fuss Earth puts up with before Earth becomes the seventh mass destruction of us.
A pleasure as always to read your ink 😊

Well this question not only is a constant in minds of thinkers, as you but also of many long gone... I'd say that IF the sole intent is just physical life, clearly the choice is clear, YET the spirit can't truly be contained, n if it were it surely die, soooooo...those lovin, would be spiritually dead...YUP, sign me up for option 2!! lol...Deep stuff my dear....

I would rather die than fit into the mold of servitude, especially to serve predators!
In some societies suicide is honorable. How does that fit in to the concept of survival?
Why are we alive? Why do we strive to stay alive? This is how religions are born...
A mentally stimulating write H!

I feel the honor or suicide fits in the concept of surviving in that
society... to live in their society I guess....

I guess it's the difference of just existing or actually living and making a difference. Nice thought provoking piece

A good and fascinating write asking important questions - but what about people who either don't want to survive or those who don't care if they survive - that would make a fascinating poem too :-)))
excellent ink as always :-)))))))

Yes, I am aware some do not care
and have simply lost the grasp in the drive.. to live
Like a corpse breathing and living just because they are
I've felt that way... a great idea that is...
maybe I can write an inspirational one to breathe life into their bodies...
maybe..
Thank you :)

a common thread of continuity flowing through this manifesto...I love the Socratic questions-answer...you are the best at that....you always solve the puzzle and let the reader continue their interpretation...a wonderful technique that is giving in that the reader resolves the story then or later... from your open heart'd open minded...I suspect

Thank you dear Jeff...
as many questions floats the mind,
there are many answers that can go with based upon
the different aspects, and points of views..
as things can come very opinionated...
I tried to take that out is all...
but I'm sure can't help to leave some biased ways I've written here
Thank you for your wonderful observations and words.

To sacrifice yourself to save others is a kind of legacy of survival which lives on after one dies. And your question at the end of how we will be remembered and what lives on after us is very important. You don't judge with that question, just leave it for our own soul-searching. Truly a deep and profound inquiry you've penned here my darling.
Hugs and Love,
John

Such deep thought provoking questions you’ve shared here H. I think we all know which option we’d choose if it were as black and white as a choice... and I know I’d certainly sacrifice all for such a choice. But I’d also never judge in someone’s weakness to follow, where the strength within just isn’t enough for anything else, for I have in a way been there.

Yes I do not either..
but I know too well that may judge upon them..
does the king remember all his followers?
does all fellow followers remember them all?
no.. only a select few that leaves an imprint..
but it certainly seems those who oppose are remember much more easier...
I am very grateful for your sharing of thoughts and visit dear sophie! :)

Ya know, I've thought about this a lot while living somewhat spontaneously in a multitude of situations. What I've learned about myself is that while altruistic I am nevertheless indifferent to the plight of others if I can't do anything to help them. This is survival of the fittest. When in dire need of a place to sleep and a plate of food I will accept charity. This is survival of the group. We should all avail ourselves to both strategies. As for being remembered nothing could be more absurd than to wish for such a thing. Forget my imperfections I say, pretend I never existed.
Your beautiful poem has pressed some buttons, as you can see. Congratulations on this very thoughtful piece.

Thank you very much... for your lovely visit... :)
yes, you are very right
many strategies and paths we can take
including taking help from others
or being involved and helping ourselves
but in the end I thought...
we live with only our mind
our life..
there are selfless people
(or as we call)
still...
if there was no such thing as group work
or we weren't aware...
where would each individuals be landing...?
searching for teamwork
or self-improvement??
many ideas...questions that floats in a youth's mind I suppose..
Very grateful of your visits! :)
