We are an imperfect product of evolution in an
imperfect universe which came into being without any purpose. All the things
material, from a simple unicellular organism to a very complex cellular human
body, are made up of certain ingredients in some proportions environmentally
determined, but far from being perfect either in composition or function.
All living and non-living bodies have to undergo
routine wear and tear and withstand the vagaries of Nature. We fight to survive
and this continues till the failure of this imperfect body. We die but not
without inflicting some changes on the very environment which was responsible
for our rise and eventual demise.
The genes we pass on to posterity make it better
equipped to fight the environment on those exposed fronts. But the
imperfections on both sides (Nature as well as individual) open new battle frontiers
for us in the fight for survival. And the show goes on.
