Darwin is right. Survival for the fittest. The law of natural selection applies as well in our social circumference. Those who fit will stay. Those who don't will be excluded. The difference is that in natural selection, it's the nature which determines everything. In my law of social selection, it's me who decides who can stick around and who should not be reckoned.

If I want, I might be able to mobilize people to do something, say, protesting to the government or establishing a community of students with the same interest. I can, but I don't want. Politics is just not my thing. Oops. I revised my statement. Politics is my area of expertise only if it is for networking purposes. Influence. I admit it to myself. I do influence my friends. Convince them that I can be trusted. That I can always be looked up to. You might want to call me the manipulative girl. But it's what needs to be done to survive. Our present social life is harsh. So harsh. I told you. Darwin is right. But Aruna isn't.

She isn't if she thinks she can have all the fame. They don't want her, you know. They need her. They surround her for answers, for lecture notes, for some enlightenment in this subject and that subject. She's being used, but she doesn't even realize it. Should I tell her the truth then?
