Hello Oluseyi, your reflection on the video of the dog and leopard is both poignant and deeply philosophical, reminding us of the harsh realities of nature and life. It brings to mind the concept of the “Survivor’s Bias” as discussed in psychology – the tendency to focus on successful individuals while overlooking those who didn't make it, due to being 'caught sleeping' in their own pursuits. This thread connects profoundly with the teachings of thinkers like Nassim Nicholas Taleb, who discusses the importance of antifragility in his book "Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder" (2012). Just as the dog must adapt and remain vigilant, we too must embrace uncertainty and prepare ourselves for the unexpected challenges of life, which often lurk right beneath the surface. Your narrative is a strong reminder of the balance we must maintain between ambition and reality, illustrating that the predator’s gaze can often be a metaphor for life's unforeseen obstacles.
