A scary concept I recently read about - When we extend the theory of natural selection to ourselves, it throws up something that we should all be happy to hear - we are who we are only because it suits us the best. It even discounts a person's will by saying a person's subconcious will allow him to change himself only if it helps him survive better than before. So as per this theory, we needn't blame ourselves for not being able to change. Think about it - If a person is rude, it is because he will survive best by being rude. Ditto lazy, mean, dishonest, truthful, cheerful, kind, insensitive, absent-minded, crazy, shabby, neat-freak, pious, double-faced, rigid, open-minded etc. Food for thought indeed. And the Emergent state is stable which may/may not be desirable (to others), the operative word being stable here. The same argument as order/ survival as opposed to chaos/ disintegration even if it is not "good". Imagine if this was proved true - all our laws have to be repealed since theres no way we can have laws that threaten survival instincts that aid existence :) And all our judgements will disappear since we would give everyone equal credit for being who they are, and understand that they are because they cannot be anything else :) But hey, but its not totally foregone and being aware is definitely a way out. But what about those who can't allow themselves to be aware, under the same rule?

Awareness….This word reminds me of neo from matrix……..how much are we really aware?....consistently one needs reminders in the form of guru maata’s / guru dev’s (names hidden as per request) to lead a stable life…if we all live so then won’t we land up being clones?….may be that’s where unique qualities arise among us to manifest our best or worst. Thanks to Darwinji who took some time for us to understand things better……..neither we have time for another natural selection thesis nor we actually are interested in doing so…!!!......Survival of the fittest (in any form) already explains for why we are here on earth…..if one cannot sustain then that one is unknown!!!
I could never agree better to the above..!!! Great peice of Information.:)
VJ- Hope & Pray.. atleast this more sensible words ring your bells.. :)
First of all, the adage is curiosity killed the cat, and not the crow. And also read up what type of curiosity the idiom refers to. Please people, leave your comments only if they can add any value to the post, and do not aim them at me. All I am able to get is that KP thinks I should stop asking these questions, and Kalyani says she is too busy to think about these things. Well, thats good to know, but doesnt help in any way. If anyone has any take on social darwinism, which is what the post actually talks about, please let me know.
comments shud be understood properly as well...never did i state to offend someone...only generalized version was mentioned...if one gets it right/wrong then their comments are welcumb...after all blogs are meant to be commented naa... :))
