Survival of the fittest

The other day while biking.
One parent is missing a foot.

Survival of the fittest.

In nature, it’s as real as it gets.

No truer truth.

In first-world human civilization, we forget.

If you aren’t focused on the basics as an animal, you get eaten.

If you aren’t focused as a human with the basics of mind, body, spirit, work, and home, you get eaten as well.

A different kind of eaten, but essentially dead, as you are going through the motions.

Judge like you mean it

Glacier National Park fall foliage
The best fall foliage in 50 years. Full of Grizzly Bears too.

i think the human nature of judging people comes from our survival instinct to evaluate predators and prey.

Instinct.

Survival.

We have had to learn, and hone, the ability to quickly and accurately evaluate danger and opportunity.

Why?

Two extremes at opposite ends of a survival spectrum.

We get eaten or we starve.

So when i “judge” a person or situation, it’s in our Neanderthal DNA.

i must judge a room when i speak, or a salesperson when i open our front door.

Judging is a survival technique.

But when it’s done with ill will or unadmirable intent, the question becomes, “Why would you do that?”

The gift of freedom to learn your own spiritual lessons.

Know what you believe in and believe in it full and unconditionally.

It will keep your fire passion for life burning effectively.

Prayed Further

As the world changes before our very eyes, at a speed older folks find hard to comprehend, we are forced to thrive, survive, or get left behind.

It seems (in my 51 years) this has always been the case. Only difference now is the accelerated pace.

And the subsequent need for our accelerated personal adaptations. Or not.
