[QUOTE="71buickfreak, post: 2019642, member: 8373"] Humans can live in peace at times, but that is not how we are wired for long term. All you have to do is look at toddlers on a playground. They have fun and play and then all of a sudden, something will kick off a fight, whether it is a toy or an accidental bump. Humans are wired for violent reactions, just like dogs, cats, monkeys, etc. All animals have some sort of territorial instinct, that is what this boils down to. As society develops, we tend to lose a lot of our own personal territory in exchange for group territory. The thing that sets humans apart from the animals is that we have developed beyond instinct, using rational thought. That said, you can't always get away from the instinct part. Sometimes I think that the only reason we can manage to live in peace at all is the fear of death. [/QUOTE]
