Again, endurance. I'm not arguing against tools, but rather that we have something that other creatures don't.

@Legend

You're vastly overestimating the endurance difference.

@DarkwolfX37

It's actually extremely high.

[Unhinged]

<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>

Yes, but that law applies physically, not mentally, and only in closed systems.

@Nimda

I only said it because, from a relative standpoint, it describes it perfectly. I'm not saying it is literally entropy.

@Unhinged

Fair, I suppose.

<Snipped quote by Balance>

There's still no procession go fighting, and assumptions don't play well in real life.

<Snipped quote by DarkwolfX37>

Humans have some of the highest endurance of all creatures.

@Legend

Argument is close enough. I just have to test each possible set of conditions against my theory.

<Snipped quote by Balance>

In general, we spend so much time trying to keep things peaceful and orderly. Due to human inclination towards selfishness and evil, there are always the two forces working to oppose each other. We keep consciously trying to build towards order and peace, but our inclinations and temptations keep working against that.

@Galaxy Raider

All that does is lead to a clash between order and our desires. That doesn't have any steps toward fighting yet.

My theory has fallen apart.

It's pretty self explanatory from there, really.

omq
see what I didn't do there

[Legend]

Here's my insight: Human beings have a natural tendency to be in control, whether it be of themselves, others, "fate," etc. This is evident through claustrophobia, leadership, and the fear of the unknown. The latter is especially important because it holds many implications; we know it to be true because knowledge allows us to gain greater control, and if we have no knowledge, we have absolutely no control over our situations and futures, particularly because we can't plan accordingly. This leads to submission throughout the world, and a desire to be controlled by some, because they desire a leader who does know, because that is less risky and allows them to be in more control than attempting to do so themselves. Because of this desire for control over others, humans have to find a way to force this to occur. This cannot happen from an intellectual standpoint because they cannot guarantee the other will comply or even agree (considering the average intelligence of a human), adding yet another variable beyond their grasp. However, there is one concept that prevents a human from being able to escape the control of another: death. Therefore, humans fight and are drawn toward fighting because it allows them to express both their own strength, limiting defiance, but the better fighter they are, the more likely it is that they are able to inflict death upon their enemies, and control those who stand in their way.

@Legend

I like it. And it stems from pride, too. A very clever teacher of mine once said that all sins, and even many negative emotions all stem from pride as a source.

I think that's just light. The character this pic was ripped from probably wouldn't blush.

@Mammalia

I disagree. Greed is also a source that has nothing to do with pride.

@Mammalia

I say it's split between greed and pride, but eh.

<Snipped quote by Unhinged>

Not really.

@Mammalia

It's not like those two opposing forces can exist without interacting with each other, all things considered. And when peace refuses to conpromise with chaos (which is always the case) what else can result from it?

@Legend

Oh, true. I can't think of a way to rationalise greed as coming from pride without huge leaps in logic.

@Unhinged

Yes, but, for one, fighting is itself chaos, and two, most fights are not necessarily over peace and chaos. Two people may fight over the most orderly method of organising your clothes, and they're both advocating order.

@Mammalia

You're looking at it too deeply. We always fight for peace, everyone, but the reason why we fight instead of taking obvious easier methods is because if what I'm talking about. I'm not saying that one side advocates for peace and one for chaos cosciously or intentionally, but the fact that fighting is what is always resorted to when the need to solve a problem arises suggests an internal inclination toward chaos.
