"?'A great competition exists where in, the individual tries to become better than the other to protect itself from the danger of being eliminated.'

?'The organism with beneficial characters only will survive.'

?'Nature selects the individuals.' "

---Theory of evolution (Charles Darwin)

These sentences summarize some of the Darwin's concepts. Darwin was one of the greatest scientists of this century, who is treated as father of evolution. Evolution is a great idea which is combination of concepts like ?'survival and arrival of the fittest' & that's how a human being can be related to a unicellular (single celled) organisms.
After thousands of years of progress and development in civilization, culture, science & technology, we are the most dominating creatures on earth. ?'Survival of the fittest' is the truth which no one can reject. This concept/idea tries to enter into our lives. ?'Survival and arrival of the fittest' can be explained in simpler terms as ?'the one who is better than(dominating) other can only survive. The term fittest is mainly concerned with food, shelter & reproduction in most of the organisms.
We, human beings exchange most of these commodities/necessities through medium called ?'money'. The organism with much ?'ability' to acquire the necessities will be much ?'fit\better' than the others. In human beings this ?'ability' is ?'money. So the human being with more money will be much ?'fit' than the others. Here the concept of ?'survival of the fittest' can be changed as ?'survival of the richest' in case of human beings. The same concept can be even implied to the nations of the world. This concept gives rise to several other terms such as ?'oppression', ?'questioning', ?'agitation'…………
This ?'fitness' can be in other form, that is ?'capability to get necessities', or just it's the ?'ability to earn money'. The human beings are able to earn money only if they possess some quality through which money can be exchanged. This quality is mainly based on skill, so people try to acquire some skill…even if they don't really want it! This gives rise to an unhealthy competitive environment which leads to rivalry between many people…. This is ?'good or nothing' as there will be a great loss of labor, skill, and even humanity!

Let me take Einstein's words to end this ?'theory'……

Quote:
Unlimited competition leads to a huge waste of labor, and to that crippling of the social consciousness of individuals.

-----Einstein

Che: Perhaps your theory should be titled "Survival of the Fattest." It seems your idea is a sort of reformulation of Spencer's Social Evolution. He applied Darwin's theory to society; not surprisingly, Social Evolution, among other things, lent legitimacy to rule by dominant elites (i.e., the upper class).

However, you don't really show how this competition leads to a loss or waste of labor. You also don't really show how the accumulation of money contributes to the survival of the wealthy. It certainly is the fuel of the engine that perpetuates the dominance of the wealthy elite.

I highly doubt these are quotes from Darwin, as they do not make sense, have poor grammar, and contradict evolution. Your theory on money has no logical grounding, either.
