b88 (3.11-1.2020): nature thins the herd

nature thins the herd ^[1]
by ima n. atural
 
nature thins the herd
the slow, the weak, the old
the ones who aren’t immune to viri (silly, common, cold)
the ones who aren’t immune to predatory hide & seek
 
nature thins the herd (assured)
the old, the slow, the weak
______________________________
 
·        sometimes, nature thins itself (as nature is the herd, and she is the predator).

·        humans possess masterful ingenuity, communication skills, and collaborative tendencies (contrary to what we observe in u.s. lawmakers).

·        since we are partial to us… we take action to improve birth rates and extend lifespans.

·        when a predator/virus comes along to thin the herd, our tendency is to protect the old, the slow, and the weak ...actually places the whole at greater risk.

·        the old, the weak, and the slow tend to consume resources (e.g. time), and they also tend to reproduce (old, weak and slow ideas).  this further weakens the holistic gene pool.
 
this thoem is not about the ‘rightness or ‘wrongness’ of the whole, sacrificing itself for the one.  ‘nature thins the herd’ simply ob-serves how nature goes about being itself. 

when it is my time to go, i won't go quietly... but i will understand that my demise is just nature (thinning the herd).
