~~Surviving

Henry David Thoreau-"Things do not change; we change"
It's not the strongest of the species that survive, nor it's the most intelligent of the species that survive, but it's the one most adaptable to change.
But the question is whether it's the existence I'm looking for? Never in my mind I had the word existence. I never thought that I had to think of existence.
But,then I thought what David was talking about wasn't just breathing properly, it was existence in the standard of society one dreams of living in.
So,he was pretty correct ,we need to be adaptable. Somehow ,I also relate a dialog from the movie Rocky,"
But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!" to it. Surviving is about a bit of David and a bit of Rocky.

  1. change is the eternal law. changing is evolvng. and evolving is the key to survival.

    anything/anyone who refuses to change will die. see what happened to sanskrit and latin.

  2. true,it's the changing which we need to follow..
    but sanskrit and latin had to undergo changeless change.Don't know how they would have managed that !!

  7. yes, this piece from Darwin always inspires me, i think of it when i'm exhausted from all the meaningless, mundane, purposeless things i do... u know the irony is, that in this world, in this society, our individuality gets covered by a mass following...we stop living, we start existing, for everyone around us, start doing things they want us to do, that are being done, that should be done probably. and u know this thing of 'adaptation' is nothing else really, but, being more acc to the society...and in this process so many lose themselves...and start existing...
