Instinctive Ability

This, I'm sure, has been pointed out numerous times by much more scholarly personnel than myself. I'm a skint ne'er do well by comparison. But I can't help thinking that the cyclical events of human nature make these protests hard to come by, and a dime a dozen. Putting it in words more so than thoughts is for myself to collect and organize. By no means a lesson.
Instinctively a human is in competition. For food, the best sleeping spots, the most promising mate to induce even better offspring, etc. If a utopia of sorts is communicated and reached between a large coven or group of people, where wealth and status are equally or more or less so, distributed, a peace can be achieved.
Temporarily.
This drive, this innate purpose of pursuing a better existence than your fellows, will soon kick in, if you have not lost all your ability and natural nerve. This is hardwired, programmed into animals of every kind. It is a mode of survival, and it's there for a reason. You can recall peasants and nobility. You can recall the working class and the tycoons. Popular kids and unpopular kids. An achievement is only so because it means you have gained it over some other's head. It cannot mean something, have any weight to it, if it is easily given. If an entire class wins the same award for say, giving a 'best effort' or showing up, the distinction is weightless and therefore, not a distinction but more a weak and ill-thought accolade. It is not necessarily envy, greed, jealousy or fear of ineptitude that drives one to succeed at another's loss. These factors can of course, be attributed to many a case, but when it comes down to the bare bones without all the precursors, it is the drive to be better, because it means you have a shot to survive.
Potentially, many an OWS protester, if you were to quietly and secretly tell them they could exchange places with one of those they are against, what do you expect the answer may be? Can you faithfully trust your peers to make the moral decision. Of course not. In your heart of hearts, how do you interpret that slight sinking sensation as you think about it? Would you yourself say no? Is that not the point, to accrue the wealth and social standing that is being denied you by such unsavory means perpetuated by banks and corporate greed? And once the deed is done and the country has been taken back, what accounts for when the cycle continues and slowly, but surely certain individuals rise in ranks and put safe guards to ensure they do not lose it?
Everyone cannot be wealthy, this must be understood at first. The point of course, is to make it so the working class can survive and succeed without these ridiculous barricades put in front of them for no other reason than to add to an already imbalanced pile. Agreed. This cannot continue. Certain bonds that have been acceptable for so long must be broken, and a change must incur. But I think we should all understand why we want this. And understand the inevitable innate instinct to survive better than anyone else will again take hold.
This is not to deter from always struggling for an equal positioning of health, wealth and happiness, which are some of the focal points of a democracy. But the first step is to understand it's not about taking. It's not about creating a new permanent establishment. People must understand that nothing is permanent.
The point is, to shuffle the deck once more so that it may rearrange itself.
Everyone should be given the same fighting chance, and then some will prosper because they know what to do with it, others will flounder. It will continue until it is rearranged and the change is equally distributed once more.
Detain your hot heads from your hearts, and look into why you grasp for certain things over others so passionately.
