The striggle for Survival

"Evolution has made us creatures of habit, looking for an adaptive niche and staying there. But what distinguishes us from the rest of the animal kingdom is our ability to break out of the trap when it threatens to become a dead end. We may languish for a while in the comfortable niche of intellectual stagnation until the glint of a distant reflection brings home the full impact of our predicament, our foolishness. Hope, finally, lies not in the denial of hopelessness but in our perception of it."
