Just Don’t Bite

“I don’t understand how ’survival of the fitest’ went to ’save the fat, dumb, lazy’.“- A buddy

He’s right though. How DID we go from survival of the fittest to protecting and prolonging the life span of the dumb and dieing. If you look at the rest of the animal kingdom you notice something that for the most part is normal among the. They let the weak die off. You don’t see a pride of lions keeping the old ones alive, you see the old one wonder off and die. Same way with the sick ones. They leave, and go die alone and in piece and don’t infect the rest.

Then you have us. the ‘intelligent’ beings of the plant. The ones that have become the top of the chain. We some how can’t learn this simple lesson from the rest of the animal kingdom. In our finite wisdom we have decided that we need to protect the stupid with warning labels. We need to protect the lazy with all forms to enable them to be lazier. The horrid twist is I’m typing this while finishing McDonalds and on the back of the fry box is this little icon that reads “it’s what i eat and what i do“. I’m sure there is a mess of phrases that you could add to that to make it funnier.

Simple fact of the matter is that we have gotten to the point that we reward laziness. That we reward stupidity. We really might be headed towards Idiocracy some day soon. Sad thing about that movie, I loaned it to someone. They watched about 10 minutes of it and couldn’t stand it because of the stupidity.

Humans, the only time we think it’s ok to kill is out of malice, anger, and spite. We seem to forget that sometimes it can be done out of love, care, and hope.
