It is a jungle out there!

I watched this amazing video taken not so long ago at a South African national park.


The first thing that came to my mind was an African proverb I read about a couple of months ago:

Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up.
It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed.

Every morning a lion wakes up.
It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death.

It doesn’t matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle.
When the sun comes up, you better start running.

Is this any different from the world we live in?

Indeed it is the 21st century, but we know for a fact it’s still the law of the jungle we adhere to: the strong crushes the weak; those with the most advanced nuclear arsenal controls the rest of the world …

But in the end of the day, aren’t we all running as fast as we can just to make ends meet?

    mala2e6: LOL! thanks for the laugh :D … yes this is exactly what we do every day …

    Gradly: You broke my heart a little and now my heart is a little bit broken :( … i appreciate that you like my blog and consider it the air that you breathe (hay menni, lol) but why don’t you like the new theme? is the logo that ugly? I love the Godfather and thought maybe it’d be cool … is it 7afartali? :( … tell me what’s wrong with it so I can try and enhance it
