Lessons for survival

Thoughts at large and by no means original:

1. Life is an endless struggle for survival of the group. To do so, individuals in the group must band together. Altruism must override selfishness. Individual selfishness, if carried to extreme, will end in the destruction of the group. The selfish individuals will die first, but he is too stupid to realize that. He thinks he can live to ripe all age. Vietnamese selfish individuals must realize this fact in the current strugge by the Vietnamese people against the threat from the Chinese who have already taken the islands and the land at the northern border, threatened the rice bowl in the Mekong Delta by building damns in the upper reaches of the Meking River, occupied the mines in the strategic Central Highlands, absconded with the Vietnamese women who are put up for sale, and flooded Vietnam with cheap and sometimes poisonous goods.

2. To survive as individuals, some humans have learned to do away with any sense of fairness and justice. They will lie, cheat, steal, kill, and do anything to give themselves an edge in the game of survival. They have regressed back to being animals. They have forgotten the human qualities: honor, responsibility, altruism, and love. Their faces have taken a look of animal cunning and shameless brazenness.
