"Why do we fight? What is that thing deep with any each of us? That compels us to settle disagreements with our fists? Whatever it is, it's there right from the beginning."
That is not my quote, it is from a from a popular TV show. Ever since I listened to it for the first time, I can't get it out of my mind. I think there is something about this quote that I find very true.
In this age, what we call as an advanced civilised society, people still do fight using their fists. But as human civilization evolved, there has been many advancements in the way we live our lives. We have found better ways to do everything in our daily lives. That also includes better ways to fight! Despite the rise and fall of philosophy, religions and technologies the urge fight and compete has not died.
In pre-historic times humans fought with their fists and sticks and other simple weapons
they could use. And today we fight with guns, chemicals, and even politics. The only difference is the way in which we fight. In some way humans fight to prove who is better
or correct.
I wonder if this mysterious quality in humans would ever fade out. It can be subdued temporarily with law, religion, fear etc. But eventually we all fight over the very measures that were put to keep us from fighting.
If you disagree that we still have the urge to fight, think back slowly as when was the last time you had to fight for something. It might have been a fight for rights or a fight for
might but your last fight wouldn't have been long ago. Its a question of when and not if !
