humans and the animal kingdom

i am amazed with the komodo dragons. they are the largest lizards in the world, and can be found in komodo island in indonesia.

they are ferocious and cunning animals. they are good swimmers, they climb trees, and they are very fast. there were recorded cases that they ate children and a journalist.

how do they attack?

komodo dragons have a unique way in killing their prey. their saliva is consists of bacteria. they only need one bite, and once they did, they will patiently wait for their victim to die due to infection. the bacteria in their saliva attacks the cardiovascular system of it's victim. after few days, they will track down their prey using their tongue, and will consume their meal in a matter of minutes, leaving no leftovers, not even bones.

in relation to humans, there are people that are like komodo dragons. they don't consume meat, but, they feed on opportunities. so even if their desired scenario is not yet possible, they will take a bite on every opportunity that will cause trouble to a person, a group or a relationship, and then will eventually feast on the result.

sorry guys, i like relating human existence to the animal kingdom.

one more example...

predators, lions specifically, does not hunt random wildebeest in a herd. they will look for the weakest member and group and will focus their attack on it. young, injured, thin - these are their prime targets. why? because they know they can injure themselves, and they will want to conserve their energy. chasing the healthy prey is practical for them.

us humans are the same. we attack the weak spot of a person, and nurture our investment.

men for example. us guys we seek a girl's weak spot. depending in our objective. if we just wanna have sex, we invite women to a couple of drinks, and the rest is history (depends on the guy's capabilities).

some befriend the girl's friends. get close relationships with the family. some buy them dogs, or cats - because they know they are cute and everytime the girl sees the new pet, it will remind her of the guy who gave it to her. some will treat girls to fancy restaurants. we have ways to attack the weak spot. it's in our nature.
