It's one of the famous theories existing in the world. The one part of the evolutionary theory proposed by Charles Darwin, which we all have learnt in school - "Survival of the fittest".
Along the years of human evolution, the above said principle has seen to be followed by us as a species. And it is very evident in other species as well. The strong and the healthy ones, survive the competition and progress further in time. The ones who are weak, perish and the cycle repeats for numerous number of times. It might have been repeating for millions of years!
When we reflect on our society, we see the very repercussions of this theory in it. People have been evolving as civilizations along many years, and there have been remarkable changes in our societies as well. But as we should see two sides of everything, there are two sections of people, one which is very well off in their lives, and another section which is not at all so. People who are quite set in the society in terms of their education, standard of living, well-being do carry on with their lives in a much comfortable way. But there is another larger portion of people who strive very hard to make ends meet, for a course of meal in their day, for decent facilities of life, etc. It's none of their fault, it's just the societal setup which the world has been facing for centuries!
As years progress, the societal set up not only escapes change, but all the more degrades. That's obvious as the famous catchphrase goes "The rich get richer and the poor get poorer". Either sides of the society, are moving to the extreme conditions of each. But as years progress, and as we can see and face our constant source of resource depletion, it's a strange thought that creeps into the mind.
The rich are accustomed to live their lives, with all the facilities and good conditions in their life. But the other part of the society, live in a much less-fortunate way. And when all the resources get depleted, I suppose the tables are gonna turn.
Post that stage, when the whole world is going to lack in resources, the now-well off could be striving to survive, and the very ones which have lack of resources, will probably manage through. Because they are much more adapted to scarcity.
And thus, the cycle of life will keep on repeating, with just the conditions and clauses changing. The resources will change, and so will the people surviving.
P.S: This post is no way related to oppose the under-privileged in any way.

Isn't it intriguing that when you cross a border, you find people who are living in incredible poverty and when cross another, people are living luxurious and hearty lifestyles. We always say the world is interconnected but apparently, is it only that border that defines whether a country is "first world" or "third world"... Interesting isn't it? Am I making sense?
ReplyDeleteApologies for the late reply.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! The differences are very much visible across borders. And why say, even within borders such differences are omnipresent! You made sense in a way, those are things which are defining the nations of the world these days! But when you stretch on a larger perspective, it would be much interesting to know the ways of lives around different countries! What do you think?
