Well, to start with we all are familiar with the Darwin's theory of evolution which states that the strongest and the fittest will survive in this world. It is a mechanism of Darwin's 'Natural Selection' concept. Many could relate to this theory which also explains the extinction of the gigantic Dinosaurs from this planet Earth billions of years ago. This is all that we have read and it's the past of what has already happened. Evolution is a gradual process and it will continue to happen at it's own pace. But did we ever give it a thought as to what is happening to us in the present? It's time that I present you the newest theory in continuation to the Darwin's theory of Evolution - I call it my THEORY OF POST-EVOLUTION DOMINANCE!
"The toughest would survive,
but the smartest would dominate"
This theory explains the logical understanding of the existence of human species and their struggle to dominate over the inter-species on this planet! The struggle is not just among humans and other species, it has narrowed down to a struggle within their own species. Humans have always had a history of evolving into something better! Right from the 'Stone' age to this age of AI - 'Artificial Intelligence', humans have continually shown betterment in their way of living. In the stone age, we developed tools made from stone that helped make our lives easier, then came the age of metals, then the medieval age and then the industrial age, so on and so forth. We are now in the age of 'technology' where we are simultaneously working in different technologies at the same time. We have developed nanobots that could perform an entire operation in a human body, on the other hand we have developed spaceships that have traveled across our solar system. This is not all, the kind of technology we are working on will have an entire new species taking control over this planet, AI or maybe mutants (don't confuse it with the X-men series, although the thought is inspired from it). Well, all of this is just a possibility or a prediction, unless we act upon it and take control over our lives. Somewhere, we seem to have lost control of our lives.
Happiness is no longer meeting your friends and relatives. It is the more likes you get on your Facebook or Instagram profile. We are so much into this social media, that we longer care to go out, see and meet our fellow loved ones. Earlier, the birthday wishes were meant to be visiting their house and meeting them, if not that then calling up and sharing heart-felt birthday wishes. Now, it's just a whatsapp message with a ready-made cake smiley with few emoticons or not even that, maybe just a simple birthday wish over a common whatsapp group.

'The toughest would survive, but the smartest would dominate' - This is true in today's work scenario as well. We live in an age where hard work is paid less, and smart efficient work is paid more. Consider a construction laborer who works and slogs hard to earn a minuscule amount of wage to survive his family, and contrasting to this consider a fellow management person who supervises the laborers who tries to manage the cost of laborers to the minimum so as to complete the project with less manpower, thereby reducing the overall cost of the project. Well, many of you could certainly relate it to your own workplace? Right? The work of roughly 3-4 people will be burdened on a single person by the management under the disguise of extracting his/her full potential. Over a period of time, this has set a new trend for 'cost-saving' model. The upper-management or the business owners only see the financial numbers, nobody cares to see the actual suffering an employee has to go through when he is being burdened with the task which ideally requires 3-4 people. Nobody sees the struggle which an employee goes through in order to achieve the results and working more than his stipulated working hours. Only a selective few get to enjoy their work-life balance. Welcome to the age where money matters more over people!
Don't be scared or demotivated with the talks I shared, for it's the sad reality of today's world. But it's only us who can help bring a positive change about this. Do not let this 'Dominating' culture get over your personal life. Your life is completely yours to live and make the most of it. Do not lose your control to other people or technology for that matter. Make optimum use of technology, only to ease up your life and not to replace your life. Take time out for your family and friends. If you truly love them, make them feel loved. Live life like it's going to make up the future generations worth living!
Yours hypothetically,
