Some days back i was watching an episode of Wild Africa on the perpetual clashes between the Elephants and Lions in Kalahari desert. They showed how the kid elephant was taken care of by the seniors in spite of a continuous threat from a equally competitive species. Survival of the fittest has been the basic law of universe. This very act has propelled the human beings to stand out at the edge of the cliff of evolution leaving behind others stranded at the bottom. It has been the brain over brawn game so far and it is likely to continue until some alien predators dethrones us or some super natural calamity takes the evolution engine further. Going by this ideology, all the lives on earth has a strong binding for their own territory. A stray dog barks at a stranger not to push him to trepidation but to keep it's territory under control. There had been calculations to prove that particular species can tolerate a certain amount of distance from their enemy, after which either they retaliate or they fleet. The notion behind this action is reoccupying the lost territory and hope for a better and a safer life. In the words of Pi Patel, to tame a lion one has to convince the creature about the area allocation and has to maintain a super-alpha personality before it. The moment you slip to to beta you can be a delicious prey. The same phenomenon can be found among the human species. The callisthenic activities of militants in various corners of the world,the war torn Afghanistan, the Jewish island fighting the enemies, the guns of Somalia etc are few of the obvious testimonials.At a personal level, a man can do wonders with his zested efforts as long as he hasn't stepped beyond his comfort zone. But the moment he is made to feel unsecure, it becomes absolutely imperative for him to change track and draw himself to a safer berth thereby resolidifying his stance.
