Survival of the Fittest.

It's interesting what kind of truisms repeat each other over and over. Today's introspection comes from this website. It's a repeating pattern. Starts out with several different colored organisms. Simple enough, they eat the smaller, grow to a certain size then split into two smaller, which are then at the mercy of their larger counterparts of different shades. Since members of the same hue don't prey upon one another, eventually one is victorious. None die, but none are growing, either.

This basic tenet of biology, which one can observe at a molecular level, can also be seen in social, political, and economic relationships across the world.
