Survival of the fittest

The theory of natural selection says that nature choses only the fittest to survive. I have seen numerous documentaries which show how difficult it is for a new born of a wild animal to survive in this treacherous world. A new born calf of a deer can't stand on its legs and the mother watches helplessly its struggling infant. The calf finally manages to stabilise itself and suckles at its mother to extract life . Nature by its nature is very unforgiving and does not give any second thoughts on eliminating a weak offspring. It even compells animals to eat their own kind when the situations get very severe. These offsprings start withstanding all the hardships and begin the journey of their life. Their parents always teach them the skills necessary to survive in the jungle. If it is deer, it is always told to be alert and hide behind the tall grasses to avoid being spotted by a stalking lion or a cheetah. If it is a lion's cub it is told to always stay away from serpents or other big male lions. The hunters are taught the skill to hunt and the prey is taught the skill to hide and dodge the hunter. One of the most important lessons taught to them is to respect the nature because it is nature which is their playground and the workplace. They are always taught to work with nature and not against it. One of the most beautiful and complex creation of nature is what we proudly call is - US , no no not the Unites States but us- human beings. Nature almost marvels itself upon the creation of such a complex system. Most of the times when a human baby is born it is in no condition to help itself and crawl to its mother. Mother holds the baby in her hands, supports the baby and gives it the milk of life. I see some kind of partiality here on the part of nature.Why does it allow a human baby to be given a supporting hand while the children of the other species are denied this support. We as human beings are created more intelligent than any other living speices in the world. A human infant is prone to many diseases in the initial part of its life and might not be the fittest but we make it possible for the baby to survive. It is because we are more intelligent than other animals. I believe what we perceive as intelligence is nothing but a second chance given to us by nature. We have used our intelligence for the development of our world and our species. But in the process of development we have lost the respect for nature which has given us the power of intelligence. It would be a cliche to say that we are working agianst nature; that nature which has presented the cradle of life to us. The worst part is we do not realise that by doing so we are getting weaker every moment. This realisation stimulates us time and again when we hear about Tsunami and devastating forest fire. Nature has allowed even the weakest of human beings to suruvie but I guess we are quickly reaching a threshold point after which indeed only the fittest will survive and at that time I am not sure how many of us will back themselves as the fittest.
