Of Plankton

You know what I think about sometimes? Plankton.

And consequentially, the entire food chain in the ocean.

Plankton's one of the lowest life forms in water. So it gets eaten by small fish. Those cute, minute ones.

Then, the cute, minute ones get eaten by medium-sized fish.

And those fishes get eaten by bigger ones.

Which, in turn, get eaten by bigger ones. And the process continues.

So it's all a hierarchy of size. Big fish eat small fish eat smaller fish. I have stunning mental visuals of that game, Feeding Frenzy.

But if that was truly the case, it hardly leaves space for taste preferential, moods, non-natural disposition, and even dumb luck.

It's all cold, systematic. Calculated.
