    We have built within us a need to fight for survival. Natural selection has bred us to constantly be fighting for the top. When we get there we have no idea what to do with it.

    We need something to fight against, that’s why we all love under dog stories.

      Uhm, no. I am fine with my belly full, a place to sleep and a confidence that within foreseeable future no big bad thing is looming over me or my family - with that settled, I have no need to fight.

      It needs to be said that the above does not mean I am not going to out effort in things beyond that scope, but those efforts come from the desire to make the word a better place, not from some fighting
