OK, a few friends and I were discussing where the expression “Rat Race” comes from. One of us (I won’t say who) claims it is basically an extension of the rats in a maze, running around, aimlessly, without purpose.
Another indicates that it is to indicate that humans are greedy like the rat, always trying to eat more----symbolizing our quest for more and more money.
Finally, the third person thinks it is symbolic of our animalistic desires to destroy those we love.
However, I am willing to hear other viewpoints about this expression.
So—Rat Race means
a) symbolic of rats running through a maze without thought----trying to get their end reward, no matter what cost
b) Humans have a greed comparable to rats, where money is the key element
c) It symbolizes the animalistic nature of humans
d) all of the above
e) none of the above----please offer your own opinion
There is a lot of cash riding on the answer!
