This is the magic of evolution.

I've loved David Attenoorough for 30 years, since the first time I saw one of his documentaries. He has that quality that so many of us have lost: of being curious and intrigued by everything he comes in contact with in the natural world. He still has that child-like quality of WANTING to know about new things, rather than being afraid of them. He has also been incredibly lucky to find out what sparked his passion at a very early age, and the good fortune - for him and all the rest of us - to be able to simultaneously make a living doing what he loves, and inform, entertain and pass on that passion to other generations. His contribution to learning and nature is immeasurable, and the world owes him a debt of gratitude.

In life I take the good job and you get pushed in the low pay bracket. The bird feels that it must raise the one that is strong enough to win, not the one that requires a crutch, as it has the instinct to spread its genes. Westerner whites are a good example as they have forgotten both that they have an instinct to spread THEIR genes and that life requires top performence, not good feelings. If you were mature or a winner you would have known that as well as people know that kids feelings are a biological adaptation for getting what they need or desire.
