“Cats have it and dogs have it, everybody have its own way to survive.” - Old sailor wisdom
Every animal has its physical posture together with its basic instinct to survive in this world. Like the cat
have claw and night vision and very good of automatic balance while falling, it suit for night activities and
living on the tree along. Dogs have loud barking and poor sight in night and cannot climb the tree while in
danger, it have to unite in group to make a living at land. There is nothing good or bad about their tools to
survive as long as it can serve the purpose required. Every man has its own way of living too but not so
obvious as we can see from other kind of animal.
Imaging a small snake had just break of it crust of egg already have the ability to find the food for his
survival. Small sea turtle have to make his way to sea to avoid their extinguish. Human are particular
vulnerable to compare with other animal. We are protected by our parent to learn the way suitable for us
to survive the challenges of live. These learning processes and materials are so diversity that we have many
kinds of culture and living in the world. Every man while born is equipped with same reflex on the body to
reflect some basic survival requirements like the infant can hold his breath automatically while his face
muscle felt water. These reflexes will fade away while our memories found it not suitable or simply because
we did not use it in time like elder baby will choke by the water on face if he did not get used to the process.
Beside these human reflex which are the remnant of our ancient history, we have to learn our way of living
by memories.
