Survival of the Fittest?

Tonite I was watching a program about sharks on the Discovery Channel. Sure, we've all probably seen many many programs about sharks in our day....and tonite I was thinking about how the creatures of the ocean truly have to be on guard at every moment. It's absolutely 'survival of the fittest' in the sea, and with 70% of the Earth covered in ocean, one would figure that there were alot of hiding places. As I was watching this program I began to feel pain inside. Why? Because we who live on solid ground live much like the creatures of the ocean. Just turn on the evening news and see how depressed you get....a child found murdered, a woman missing, another innocent American death in Iraq. You can barely go out your front door anymore for the danger that awaits in every corner of America. Just don't look at someone wrong, you might get shot to death. Don't cut someone off on the road.....be careful and be aware of your surroundings, for you could get mugged and robbed at any moment. Truly there is nowhere safe anymore, neither under the sea or above it. Survival of the fittest doesn't only pertain to our vast oceans, it pertains to you and me each and every moment of our lives. How will you survive? Will you survive with dignity and respect? Or will you secumb to the pressures of today? Will you be the one inflicting harm....or will you be the one who lifts up? You have to make the choice. "Survival of the fittest" does not mean that you have to be the baddest of the bad. Perhaps it means you are the 'goodest of the good.' Think about it.
