no animal naturally

“ … no animal naturally weakens itself. Tigers never starve themselves to look better to other tigers and snakes don't slither over coals to show their bravery.”  - Rory Miller, Chiron Blog, “On Power.” and I would add this quote from the Alien movie, from Ripley, the main character who said, “Ripley: You know, Burke, I don't know which species is worse. You don't see them fucking each other over for a goddamn percentage.” Alien Movie Quote

Comment: You don’t see them screwing each other over for a percentage? A quote that spoke to how the animal kingdom works except for that most unusual animal of all, humans. There is no ego, no pride and no monkey dance emotional actions and reactions from the other animals, they hunt to eat, the fight to protect the group, the procreate so the species lives, the sleep to recup for the next day and that is about it but we humans tend to go way beyond our needs in surviving. You gotta wonder about humans.
