Why Americans will remain the Lions of the jungle in the present century?
Do
you think the chances to succeed and be a leader over fellow humans depend on somebody
being good or bad? Most moralist theoreticians will cast their dye in favour of
‘being good’. Just look at all those who occupy the front ranks of society in terms
of power, influence and money, you will soon realize being ‘good’ or ‘bad’
hardly matters when it comes to these successful social lions. What matters is
the degree of fear, apprehensions, constrictions and restrictions all combining
in an individual uniquely to make him/her weaker or stronger in both mind and
body. Physical wellness runs a step ahead to make an individual stronger at
other levels like in mind, attitude, confidence, etc. We can even summarize
that less fearful means being stronger at various interpretational levels. So
those who course away to distant glories are the ones who fear less, because
they are stronger physically (foremost) and better mentally (mental
interpretations of strength are just a subset of overall physical strength).
Learn
from nature. It has all the clues. It holds all of its secrets in the open. It
does not promote one species over others on the basis of being good or bad. It
is just about the self-evolving scenario of the stronger surpassing the weaker.
Weakest species are most in numbers. But these are also very limited in their
level of participation in the whole drama. Mere numbers does not mean a larger
role in the game. Had it been so, the ants would have ruled the roost in a
forest, not the lion! The weaker a species is, more apprehensive is its each
and every step under the cold, impartial glare of mother nature. Take for
example a mouse. The moment it steps out of its hole, its heart pounding with
uncertainty and fear, its nose twitching to sense danger, its cowering paws
keeping it on tenterhooks! Where is strength; where is surety; where is
determination; where is confidence; where is relaxation? It fears most, because
it is primarily weak at the physical level. In proportion to its weak, fearful
existence, it leads a limited life among few bushes and rat holes. If we move
up, we get dogs, deer, jackals, wolves, etc., all of them having a larger role
in proportion to their degrees of less or more fearful. Look at the lion! Watch
its carefree gait, its confidence, its sure steps, its relaxing persona under
the shade of a tree!! All these are derivatives of its fearlessness, of it
being strong physically. Have a look at the majestic ‘I care a damn’ gait of an
elephant and compare it with thousand deaths a mouse dies the moment it comes
out of its hole. We have the same human variants in social jungle, the social
lions, elephants, mouse, etc., depending on their degree of being less or more
fearful!
Asians
are producing more offspring, Indians and Chinese are doing it, Islamists are
also adding to their stock like anything! Does it mean that with more numbers
in their category, they will dominate! No it cannot be! From what we observe in
nature, it does not look so. Poultry production compromises quality, instills
fear, procreates weaklings, booms and bangs confidence, limits motivation. If
it is not so, deer in larger hordes will roam freely in the jungle. Ever wonder
why Americans, or for that matter Westerners, are hardy bothered about adding
to their numbers. It is about maintaining a standard pedigree. Limited
procreation has maintained a stable, strong, confident stock. And they rule the
roost. Someone might say that with billions of numbers on their side, Indians
and Chinese are acquiring a larger role and significance. They are! But they
are scampering to crowded glory only in the grasslands. At a level where they
can just be suitable paper crowned kings in the thoroughfare set by the top
honchos. American system instills fearlessness in an individual by making them
follow free paths beyond compulsions of conventions and socialized shit. Their
top priority is staying physically fit, follow own path, stay independent,
fearless. They are not bothered about wearing out body and mind just for future
generations like Asians do and have no present at all. They do not have to
carry the burden of conventionalized expectations to lose their present by
being yoked in tiny duties and responsibilities. The former breeds leaders, the
latter just numerous followers. With technological advancement of a few decades
and choice-limited lion-type maintained pedigree, Americans will continue to
run worldly affairs throughout the current century. The rest of the populous
world will have its noisy crowded share of glories in a subordinate world.
