..."only the strong survive"
The last sentence in my section which speaks about blood on page 31, top paragraph, reads "...the weakest and least agitated must be puched aside by the strongest which by this means arrive there alone." The strongest parts move towards one of our most complex parts of our body, the brain. When I read this I feel like it is survival of the fittest and "only the strong will survive." Therefore, the weakest cannot always succeed in our society. This is another analogy on life, which is true for all humans and animals. How does one expect to achieve anything with out a little will-power?

This is similar to the post I just posted explaining that perhaps "God" is actually mother nature. He uses alot of metaphors in this book and perhaps he explains everything in a way that won't upset the church yet has a way of explaining everything he believes, which seems like it doesn't involve "God" much.
I agree with you Diana. When it comes down to it, there is not enough room for all to push through, therefore only the necessary, the strongest and most crucial makes it to the top; and when at that point, it stands alone. There is only room for the best of the best to push all the way through, to push past the rest and make it to its destination. Its almost like the blood has its very own mind set on a destination, and a goal to put forth and succeed. Similar to life, it seems as if you dont have a goal, or path to take, you get lost and never make it to the top, to the end, to the desired position.
Yeah, it is like the blood sees its destination which you said is the brain so that we can function. And I think you are right, humans do need will-power to succeed in life.
