Reading Italian Neighbors by Tim Parks, I stumbled upon this almost philosophy you could say, and found it quite intriguing.
"Thought for the day: Every morning in Africa the gazelle wakes up and knows he will have to run faster than the lion if he is not to be killed. Every morning in Africa the lion wakes up and knows he will have to run faster than the gazelle if he is not to die of hunger. When the sun rises, it doesn't matter if you're a gazelle or a lion, you'd better start running" (Italian Neighbors, 209).
It's a different way to take a look at the world. I think it's a great perspective onto how some people, especially in America, wake up every morning, sip on their coffee, and think about what they will do with their day.
