‘In a world where you can be anything, be kind.’

In his Natural Selection theory, Charles Darwin believed that evolution occurs as a result of the ‘survival of the fittest’. I had to find a simple explanation (for myself!) and came across this example, using fish as the subject:

‘In a river there are a school of orange fish being watched by a hungry, orange fish loving, Eagle on the bank. One day a mutation happens in the species which turns one of their offspring blue, making it easier to blend in to the surroundings. As the blue fish is camouflaged, and hence much harder for the Eagle to catch, the orange fish population slowly dies out and the blue fish gene spreads. Eventually the river is filled entirely with blue fish, forcing the Eagle to go and hunt prey elsewhere.’

Imagine what a difference we could all make if we set out to do just one small kind thing a day?
