The propagation of their own kind seems to be the fundamental aim of all forms of life. It is equally true that competition, of whatever nature it may be, threatens to curtail the overwhelming increase of any one kind of life. In other words, there is a struggle for existence -- a struggle that attains a tremendous magnitude in the lives of orgasims living as parasites on others. A parasite that exploits its host to the point of extinction is, itself, in danger of annihilation. Hence, the only motto for any successful parasite is the well being of its host.
