The king of the jungle. The one who stands at the top of the hill. Men typically have very competitive natures and want to be 'that one'.  And what great respect does the lion get. What great respect does the man who stands at the top of the heap get. But ultimately, what does it all matter? As much respect , as any women, as much money you get, Father Time comes and puts an end to what was once high and mighty.

I've had my time in the sun where I was at the top of the heap, but that passed me by. So why do we seek that which is so temporary? Why do we seek so much money, so many cars and all of these items of superficialty to be at the top of the pile?

Ultimately, what does it solve to have more than another man? Yet it's a hunger that exists within the heart of man... that hunger for more... more cars, more jewelry, more clothes, prettier women... and like an intense fire, will consume him if he does not keep it in cheque.

This competitive urge is something that I strongly attempt to quench, because I know that, ultimately, it is foolishness. I win nothing truly by spending my life trying to be 'better' than others. What do I shift to? I am shifting to a mindset of collaboration as opposed to competition. Instead of trying to be better than others, I'd rather better myself and others in one fell swoop. Sometimes' it's very difficult, because you'll always have someone attempt to taunt you and to use their accumulation of material goods or achievements to make a case of how they are 'better' than you.

But really, all it shows is insecurity on their part. It's very inviting to allow yourself to be drawn in, but ultimately, you recognize that it's pointless to joust with them, because you are wasting your precious energy on negativity as opposed to positivity.

Yes, lions indeed do die, and I'm attempting to slowly rid myself of the lion in my heart... That arrogant creature who wants to stand at the top of the heap. For ultimately pride and its rewards fade away, and ultimately, only love and goodness last.
