The change of Alpha Dogs and The Pack Leader. Good or bad?

A few unexpected ways to start the 2013.

While I am still in the hopeful, "anything is possible", stay positive mood in the first month of the new year, unexpected and shocking news are inevitably rushing in. The greatest of all news was the "retirement" of the pack leader and follow suite by a few Alpha Dogs too. So, is this a good sign or a bad one?

We, humans are innately "pack" animals. We instinctually need to belong to a pack because we know we cannot survive without a pack. This applies to every one of us regardless of our basic personality or temperament. Therefore, it is foolish if you ever penned this down in your resume "i can work independently". Evidently, we can't do that and we are inter-dependent to each other that's why we work in pack. Every pack is governed by rules and guidelines established and enforced by our Alpha or pack leader. All the remaining pack members have defined positions within the "pack pecking order/hierarchy" and this pecking order/hierarchy and the role are essential to the ultimate "survival" of the pack. The Alpha is entrusted with the responsibility for establishing the pecking order, pack rules, and maintaining order within the pack. The strongest, the weakest and all in between still need to be part of a pack and in return the pack needs to have an effective alpha/pack leader who ultimately ensures the longevity of "the pack".

It is crucial that the pack leader and alpha provide a stable pack environment. Now, so much said so and with the "departure" of the pack leader and few alphas, can we survive the ultimate challenges ahead of us? We will see.

Well, not all pack leaders have the capability to lead the pack. When one failed to do that, it will just have to wait for another Alpha or pack follower that has bigger balls to challenge it. The winner will be determined by "fight" and of course the weaker one will be out and in this case, usually is the "old" one. So, please stay away from the pack and let the new leader to take the lead before the pack is being slaughtered. Well, is this necessary? Indeed and of course it does, to ensure the survival of the pack.

Still, I am keeping my fingers crossed and stay in the hopeful, "anything is possible", positive mood for many more "moons" to come.

Woof woof!
