Chapter 0:

Man and Its Nature

The Classrooms Eclipse


Good Day, I have a question to ask if I may. 

What is nature in its truest form? 

Some perspectives would implement intimate intercourse between opposite genders and bearing children. 

From a philosophical perspective, it would be said that nature is the core of living lives as human beings.

But I beg to differ. In my view, nature holds a larger scale than what most minds perceive.

I believe from birth, all humans share the same fragile nature—hunger, fear, love, ambition. Yet, we carve a world where only the strongest, the brightest, or the most ruthless ascend.

 This is the creed of meritocracy: to rise by proving one’s worth. But what of those whose nature wavers?

What of those whose strength is not seen, but hidden? Human nature whispers of survival, yet meritocracy demands triumph. And between the two… lies the battlefield of fate.

Human nature is simple—born to live, to hunger, to fear, to love, to destroy. Yet, in every heart lies the arrogance to believe one deserves more. That arrogance became the law of man.

Merit. Power. Talent. We call it meritocracy. A world where the strong are celebrated, and the weak are left to rot. A world where survival is not enough—you must rise, or be trampled underfoot.

The Jamaican saying goes " wah sweet nanny goat ago run i'm belly," which in this statement would be narrowed at the power-hungry individuals who, later, through Greed, are choked by the very hunger that drove them forward.

But human nature is not so obedient. Pride corrupts merit. Envy poisons fairness. Greed disguises itself as ambition. And in this endless contest, even virtue becomes a weapon.

What is human nature, if not the endless struggle to prove worth? What is meritocracy, if not the stage where that struggle is judged? Between the two lies no justice—only the cruel truth.

The strong climb. The weak fall. And all of us… are trapped in the spiral.

Walk with me on the journey that implements the story through the eyes of the protagonist.
