The Struggle
Posted on July 26th, 2010 by Joseph
Earth is a hostile place. Life is a high-risk and ultimately fatal activity. Those of us who ask for peace and justice ask for something no other life-form enjoys. Every form of life struggles to survive and reproduce from one day to the next. Every meal represents life for one life-form and death for another. It’s not a pretty picture. In Africa, every morning a gazelle awakens knowing that it must outrun the fastest lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning, a lion wakes up knowing it must run faster than the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death (ancient African proverb).
