Synonym with the word life is survival. Synonym with the word survival is the fittest. Question is, do we have to be fit in order to bear the onslaught and cruelties of those who are the fittest? Survival of the fittest is very much in the spirit of yesterday. Its relevancy to today's world is very much an open question. In the context of classroom and educational challenge, the fittest survive is acceptable. But the moment he sets foot to the established perceptual world of everything, entrenched with all the falsehoods of mass and miscommunication, survival has become a different ball game. Here I am, surviving the day not with the mighty sword but with the mighty pen, so to speak. But am I the fittest? Or you are?
