Relentless Enemies

The other night, I was watching a show called Relentless Enemies on the National Geographic Channel.

I understand the need to have conflict in a show, since conflict is at the heart of all drama, but I couldn't help but wonder why there isn't also a show on television called Synergy, which could demonstrate the ways in which certain animals and plants have co-evolved so as to depend on one another.

The idea of Relentless Enemies makes it seem as though as these animals truly hate each other, and have hated each other since the beginning of time. And perhaps they have.

But it would also be nice to see a show that demonstrates how there are animals out there that get along with one another in a synergistic relationship, that benefit from one another's existence.

Maybe then, we would see how the same holds true for us as well.
