Welcome to the Armageddon

Suppose you are asked to state your pick from the following types of aggression

• Territorial
• Predatory
• Inter-male
• Fear Induced
• Irritable
• Maternal

After you have googled for the meanings and come up with your choice, if and only if you singled out the second option, continue reading. The rest (read: faint hearted) may close the browser and get back into their shells.

These are the new rules of the game:

Aggression is not always physical. The subtler it is, the more forceful.

It is instinctively known that non competitive oafs are gobbled up by mighty rivals.

Alexander could not dare to dream of conquering the world without the extra ounce of aggression. If it is not in your blood, drink others’ but make sure you have it in you.

Economics says that monopoly produces the highest profits. You should emerge as the only one at the end of the battle.

A fish in an ocean of sharks is as good as dead.

You have to be first. There is no place for second.

Complacence is out. Sending a chill down the opponent’s spine is in.

Mediocrity is pitied. Extremism is preferred.

If you can identify with this style of conquest, then don your armour.

Welcome to the Armageddon. Backwaters 2006. Where predation leads to redemption.

Stand out. Get noticed. Be worshipped.

Kill. Or be killed.
