I by chance came up with a very good(or so i think) analogy while having a conversation with my parents. Although the conversation is personal :P:P ... i would sure like to share the analogy as i think it applies to quite a lot of things.
I asked my parents to imagine a situation when in a lonely jungle with a lot of grass, there are only two animals. A sheep which can run very fast ... and a lion. Now naturally the lion wants to hunt down the sheep and eat it while the sheep wants to run away. Whom would you call a villian in this situation. The obvious answer they gave was lion... coz he wants to kill the sheep. I agreed ... but then i asked them to look it from a different point of view. Isn't the sheep mean, to run away when it is obviously the only food that can keep the lion alive. Th lion cant survive on grass... its his biological need to eat meat. So in a way no one is wrong... each one is trying to do their job..
Its the lion's job to hunt down the sheep .. and it is the sheeps job to run away... its just the way nature is designed .. no right no wrong... The best both can do is keep doing their jobs best they can ... but not have any hard feelings by realising that the other too has a role to play....
think about it.... it applies to a lot situations around us today.... :)

Now imagine a game when in a not so lonely world there are 3 species: Men, beet (=all vegetables, beet is chosen for its rhyme) and meat. The rules to play are:
A meat can eat the beet
A meat can eat a meat because it can't think
But a man can think, so it should eat the beet coz there is plenty of it. Then, why does it eat the meat? And more importantly, why does it make the other beet-eaters meat-eaters...
Now who is the villain here... obviously, the defenders would come up with excuses like the beet can feel but still...
btw, i came to your blog through blogpane :)
