Call of Nature

“Eventually all must answer the call; that of nature”

This image and quote combination suggests that it is the natural order of things that every living creature fight to survive.

The reptile kingdom is said to be over three hundred million years old, descendant from dinosaurs. What better way to illustrate the longevity of such a concept than to tether it to a species whose ancestors are long extinct.

It is a poignant reminder that ‘the call to survive and thrive’ represents the most basic instinct any life form can harness—human beings overwhelmingly included in such a calculous. The alternative is to give in; to surrender to defeat; to in effect stop living.
