It is merely human nature to want to fight one's neighbours. Violent disagreements are inevitable. We are an abnormally aggressive species, and must fight on a regular basis to sate our violent tendencies. |

Conflict and violence are simply universal, natural phenomena. All things within the physical world (not just the human species) exhibit some forms of violent characteristics. Human warfare is merely an expression of this universal, chaotic force in the human realm of things. If other species could organize and wage war as humans do, they would. |
