Eat.Love.Prey.

Today, I will share my views on a philosophy. "Eat.Love.Prey", as you must have figured out it is very familiar. But with the change of just a single alphabet, the meaning of the phrase changes drastically. Pray implies seeking guidance, looking up to a person/being, among other things. Prey on the other hand is a carnal action. Or is it ? Every living being in the world preys on another living being. Consider the case of an African Lion feasting on an unlucky zebra or the same zebra feasting on kilo's of grass(before being eaten by the lion, of course). There is no being that can survive without eating. But Prey is not the same as Eat. A bite of a piece of stale bread qualifies as eating. But Prey is an action of choice. It is a mind state that involves, but is not confined to, eating. 

As humans, we must make  many choices, with each choice affecting our future. Each choice comes with a set of parameters and its own equations. To solve a choice (Yes, I meant "solve") we must search deep within ourselves. We must search for the reason that has forced us to face the choice. For, only when we know what we really want, can we actually get it. 

If you agree with this then it will be easy to understand my concept of Prey. Because, I think that, to achieve success in a choice we must Prey on it. We must consume the choice and take what we need. I repeat, consume the choice and take what we need. We must act as if our lives depend on the choice and behave as if this is the only job that we do. When we treat each choice and in turn each task as an act of Prey, we will achieve what we need to. To fail in a choice is like passing on a nice and juicy zebra. Regret and Repentance will be right behind the zebra, but they will be in no rush to leave you. 

So act, when you have to. And act, as if you need to.
