evolution..

"When the going gets tough, the tough drink water from the sink" said one of my friends.. Some tough on the other hand borrow money, or just hibernate. Darwin called it survival of the fittest; I call it handling the truth. we live in denial, and when reality forces itself upon us, we tend to look sideways, which is exactly when reality grows full size and looms upon us from all directions, but we tough people have devised a way out of that too- we shut our eyes, close our ears shut, hide our face in a pillow, leaving no gap open for reality to dodge its way into that most distrustful organ that works inspite of us. It time travels, a recent study showed, while we humans can venture into the future at a very comfortable 1 second/1second rate, our brains can defy all science, and sail past our entire life. Our lifespan has decreased, because we developed brains. A cockroach on the otherhand can surive through drought and distress with as much ease as it took for it to upturn itself having fallen off on its back in the big bang.

It doesn't take a dog generations to come a long way. It lives and then it dies, oblivious to the world which is all materialistic anyway. We, on the otherhand, bite more than we need to chew, trying to fit in the entire world history that has happenned until this second. Its come down to a viscious cycle, where we are trying to be conversant with everything our ancestors have done, and our grandchildren will do. We are lost in our own heads. It takes an ant's brain to see the irony of it all, and for ages ants have designed a way to safely ignore humans, and coexist. We were better off, adorning ourselves in fresh leaves everyday, forgetting and relearning everytime that fire is hot until our fingers were burnt and it became a forced habit.
