Law of Jungle vs. Law of Democracy

Humans have been used to both type of laws.

All Human civilizations have been working under the law of Jungles  till as recently as 100 -200 years ago.Only since we had Democracy since last 100-200 years ago with equal voting rights for all people that law of jungle has been replaced with law of democracy.

And what is the law of jungle in plain simple terms it means that might is right and you have different Human species competing with each other and animals to be at the top of the pie in terms of resources like food,water,females,land,money  etc. etc. Physical force and violence is the only way to settle the issue under law of jungle. Animals are still living under law of jungle and they are still doing well as they have been doing since ages.

Humans being the more intelligent species have evolved and since last 100-200 years they have thought about it and decided that law of democracy is a better option for them for whatever reasons , but the main reason is that it will eliminate violence and physical force to settle the issue.Most of the human species have accepted this law of democracy because it makes things more systematic and settles issues without use of physical force or violence.So once we have evolved to Law of democracy which by its virtue assumes that each single individual has the same voting power as any other individual and this has ensured that things are settled without use of force or violence.

So it is very clear that you cannot have a system based on your whims or fancies either we follow the pure law of jungle (animals are still flourishing under this law and have  been since ages ) or we follow the pure law of democracy(which in plain simple terms means that the will of the majority will prevail)

You can't have your cake and eat it too.You cannot afford to have  a hybrid system either it is pure law of jungle or it is pure law of democracy , their is no third option for us.
