Survival of the fittest

The words in the title of this blog remain on my lips all the time may be because I still remember "Adaptation" Chapter of Biology Class-X, that was probably last time I studied sincerely. The passion and enthusiasm which was there at that time results in the fact that I very well remember the long boring answers of History and Biology till now but lacks to recollect even the names of chapters of my engineering subjects. Is fear of survival makes you coward? or the urge to get acknowledged in whatever small things you do makes you away from your real goal and you start enjoying every little appreciation you get from public despite of your miniscule gesture.

Yes, acknowledgement is the word for which most of us are alive. I admit, even a small good words for me by anyone makes me as if I am on the top of the world. May be the reason is that I rarely get chance when people acknowledge me ,give me importance or I am like this only that "Ye dil maange more.." Latter statement is true. For me the reason for survival have become very clear now. Apart from the basic needs, the other one can be categorize among the social needs which every individual  really or virtually need whether they admit it or not. 

From childhood we were constantly reminded by our parents that we have to succeed by hook or crook. The success is not for our future well being but for getting acknowledgement from society. The whole drama revolves around this only and we ruin our entire life just for getting three words recognition, appreciation and acknowledgement. The very essence of survival for us is for this only and in this process we very well ignore that we haven't taken birth just to please others. Even  now-a-days Facebook have become our new social podium where getting likes and comments on your activities provides some share of acknowledgement. I am also among these people only. We all have earned degree. How many of us really or actually need it. Answer is none of us. We can easily survive without this also, but we can't because that led to fulfilling our social needs.

"Degree nai hogi to koi naukri nai dega, koi baap apni beti nai dega, bank credit card nai degi.."

 Even when we send forward  message to someone, in reply we except a "good one" message. May be also this effort of mine is for that only.
