United or divided?
Curiosity kills the cat or so we have
been taught? After all, most questions have no answer and people are not overly
fond of looking stupid. There was a thought "what was the driving force of
life, was it selflessness or selfishness?” Now as biology student (I do note
that we have referred to our self as physicist but well I really cannot say
anything smart that will get me out of this, hence for this article you can
well just well call me dynamic) we are not overly fond of what is called reasoning,
biology is not as much of science as it is rather an art but then again it is
just one of the many interpretation of the subject, as on the whole whole
everything is abstract it is for us to decide how we perceive it, if
percipience was not so important you can kiss the quantum mechanics and theory
of relativity good bye. Now let’s get to something that has actual truck with
the title of this article. Suppose there are two group of species, one full of
selfish individual and another full of selfless individuals, as it will come
out some of the selfless individual will be ever ready to give up their life
for the larger good of species, the selfish ones concentrating only on
individual good will be wiped out sooner or later as per Gause's principal of
exclusion, and the selfless population will flourish, but the question is for
how long? Now the catch is, what is to stop the mutation? Sooner by mutation
there will be certain selfish species as well, they will have certainly an
upper hand over selfless ones, they will not take the risks and thus will
prosper and reproduce then again the population will be filled by just selfish
individuals, so we have reached right where we have started, there is no answer
or so it seems so i can now became a pseudo scientist and talk thrash about we
can never know absolute truth, even if we get into some reasoning about
existence of universe, the chain will break or if chain is complete then we
will be trapped in vicious circle but truth is one cannot make generalization
on such a small instance. But again science has outsmarted us,there is no life
lesson here, you can be whatever you like, selfish or selfless, this is no
movie, just be smart for only one rule in evolution is absolute "Survival
of Fittest".
