Fright, fight or flight - Part 1

Fright or flight

Why can't one walk away slowly

Answer is they can


Then why do we see fright or flight

When did it evolve

How did it evolve

Mystery innit


Is it that the slow walkers died easier

Slow walkers were easily caught up to

Slow walkers could be struck down easy

But it is easier than running


Is it that the frighters survived better

Standing still makes you scary

Standing still makes you look inedible

But it takes effort to stand still


Is it that the fighters survived better

Fighting scares off the for

Fighting might nab you a meal

But you might get your ass whooped


All mutually compatible a priori

All condition dependent

All come with costs

But that's life


Stand, fright or flight

Options to keep living things

Living


(Part 2 to come - something about being still. Thanks Otto!)
