标题：The Fallacy of Prey

Prey is a term often used in nature, referring to the victim of a predator or other harmful force. However, in human society, we often fall prey to various situations that can affect our well-being and success. Whether it"s being taken advantage of by others, suffering from a long-term illness, or being caught in the crossfire of conflict, we can easily become victims of our own circumstances.

In order to avoid becoming a victim, we must be aware of our surroundings and take steps to protect ourselves. We must also be resilient and persevere in the face of adversity, never giving up hope or giving in to despair. By staying vigilant and taking action, we can overcome any challenge that comes our way and emerge victorious over our predators and other harmful forces.
