  Some would say there is no truth, based on the nature of differing
observations upon the same thing. However, others say we lack the means to
comprehend the truth, and what we think is true is a far perceptive
approximation of what something IS....

  Anyways, to add to this, personal observation leads me to note that
cheetahs will scavenge if they can, especially from other cheetahs, and a
cheetah will a void a chase, and therefore a struggle, if they can. These
observations are limited to cheetahs, however; for instance, a male
cheetah will take a kill almost too easily from a female, give his
physical advantage in this case, and a particular event was noted where a
mother was chased off a kill she'd made by a male, belying the
aggresiveness of a mother in need. Cheetahs are delicate animals....

  Little steps are often the hardest to take.  We are too used to making leaps 
in the face of adversity, that a simple skip is so hard to do.  We should all 
learn to walk soft, walk small, see the world around us rather than zoom by it.
