    LOL.

    For those of us kasi who’ve seen countless people pass away, we know at the very end, it doesn’t matter. Every time someone’s coding, nawawala yung yabang- and in many cases, there’s fear. That 300K watch you own, the 4k peso polo shirt you wear and those four SUV’s in the garage? That’s all useless now.

    As for those so called “alpha” types? I’ve seen so many otherwise ‘tigasin’ & astig men turn into SISSIES when they need to be taken to the OR, even for minor procedures lang. In most cases, mas madalas duwag ang mga lalake sa hospital… makakita lang ng konting blood, kulang na lang tawagin yung mommy or asawa nila (ayaw lang pahalata).

    Mas bilib pa ako at the quiet strength of a woman risking her life to give birth to her child...

    ^^^

    i can imagine the stress those alpha types put themselves under

    since they always have to be top dog everywhere they go, imagine the amount of stress just to maintain status

    and they're constantly on the lookout for other alpha males that may challenge their status

    kaya puro may hypertension / heart problem mga yan

    -

    and not to mention the amount of stress to keep their women interested since its their alpha status that attracted those women to them in the first place

    to some folks, being alpha is being normal. they'd feel stressed, if they weren't top dog.
    to those not designed for alphahood, pretending to be one is very stressful.
    i suspect, majority of us fall into the latter.
    only a very few, are born alphas. "the born leaders". even at an early age like childhood play, their leadership is already very palpable.

    a leader is someone who gets his people to where they want to go. it is easy, as all he has to do is to walk ahead of them by a few feet. in truth, "he's really a non-essential".
    a good leader is one who brings his people to where he wants them to go.
    a great leader brings his people to where he wants them to go, and makes his people believe it was their idea all along. the true alpha. famous and infamous world leaders, here.

    which is why they need to maintain top dog status

    as it is in primates, so it is in humans

    chicken and egg.
    are they up there as alphas, because of their hormonal and steroid levels?
    or are their hormonal and steroid levels up, because they fear going down and are doing everything to keep remaining up there?

    high testosterone = more aggressive, risk-taker, higher tendency towards violence

    high testosterone men are usually alphas

    when a guy's alpha, the stress of maintaining status leads to elevated cortisol etc

    why? competition (hey, there are other men out there who also wanna be top dog... so all that posturing and fighting to maintain top dog status takes a toll one's health)

    that includes competition for mates (hey, you're not the only alpha out there so you gotta keep up that top dog status of yours otherwise your women will leave you for the new top dog)

    one of the most well-loved personalities and leaders in our workplace,
    "i'm the second-best there is! because... everyone else is fighting for first place."

    while the study does argue well, for primates, the fact is, human intellect has a role to play.

    I remember one of the literatures I read many years ago.... Something like "How Much Land A Man Needs...."

    "The little

    Child inside

    A man..."
