We Are All Animals (6) - The weaker ones.(YAP)(18)

Thanks Kindom, to give me permission to write the sequel for the topic We Are All Animals.
This Saturday, my friends and I visited the Botanic Garden. We played games near a fish pool. When we found that there was a fish food machine, we decided to feed the fish. At first, we just threw the fish food into the pool casually. But after a while we saw some tortoises, they were too slow and clumsy to get the food. Then all of us changed our feeding ways, we tries our best to let the tortoises get the food. Every time the crazy fishes robbed the food we threw to the tortoises, we might felt sorry and sighed together. Soon, we finished feeding and went home calmly, but my heart was not as calm as my appearance.
Why would people always tend to give more chances to the weaker? And whether it is right or not?
In wild world, animals would seldom pity the weaker; only the strong ones can survive and pass their excellent gene towards. But humans are not the same as wild animals, we are kind and humane. When the poor have no food and no shelter, governments and social welfares would take care of them; when two sport teams compete together, audiences who are not the fans of both teams will always want the weaker team win. This kind of kind is one part of humans’ moral sometimes but maybe unreasonable in some situation.
I remember that I have watched a film, in which the clever and educated people would think twice before they have child and they tend to have less or no children because they want to succeed in career, while the not so clever ones will have more children, so after thousands of years, all humans in the world are stupid.
To help the weaker ones is OK, I think, but never forget to let the stronger ones win and motivate the weaker ones to become strong.

  1. The method to acknowledge our tutor taught us proves to be useful this time; you're welcome. I agree with most of your words, but I think actually, the tortoises are much stronger than the fish because they live a longer life. Maybe that's why they cannot be born with a fast speed. And it is very hard to difine who is strong and who is weak. We can just think pessimistic as Decare: It is reasonable as long as it exists.

  2. Perhaps we remember the story of 'The Tortoise and The Hare.' The 'stronger' person - how do you describe him/her? The 'weaker' person -how do you describe him/her? Also 'strong' and 'weak' in what aspects? E.g. 'Strong' in responsibilities but 'weak' in team work? I agree with Kingdom's comments. Well said.
