Dog Eat Dog

Or is it doggy dog? It's been a hectic Saturday already. One that has been captioned by a story of my aunt's dog being mauled by another because he overstepped into foreign territory. It made me think...this is not so different from us humans. You know, the civilized, educated creatures that we are. Last night my friend Amy was also telling me about some drama she encountered after a girl's love interest held her in contempt for just being. I guess it's the fear of losing ground, territory, power or clout. Where does it come from? Is it our survival instinct? An insecurity? I've decided that I'm going to be as neutral and pacifist as possible. After all that is my nature. I'm avoiding drama like the plague. And maybe in doing so, I'll discover some things about me outside of this dog eat dog reality we live in.
