<Snipped quote by Legend>
I wonder that a lot as well. Especially when I am in the shower.
Shower thoughts. I believe I have an answer.
<Snipped quote by Legend>
I assumed it would be something like alpha instinct inherited from our animal ancestors.
Rather that we're programmed that way in order to adapt.
<Snipped quote by Legend>
No, I'm not. Read it again. Pride is the idea that I am the best. Therefore, my ideas are the best. If someone else comes and has an idea contrary to mine, then as a result of that pride, both I and the other person will want our incompatible ideas to be the best. Because this is impossible, then our ideas logically clash, because they are incompatible. To settle this by compromise violates my pride, because I would have to change my idea to work with someone else's--but if my idea is superior, then why should I change it? And so the only way to continue is to fight over it.
You were going fine, but then skipped several steps in the last statement. You went straight from "I won't change" to "fight." There's not a logical progression there.

The one you'll accept is also correct, it's just secondary to the one you won't in terms of why.
I'm aware. I didn't post it looking for an answer; rather, I was thinking aloud as I worked through it.

I'm actually curious about your answer, since you won't derive it from biblical beliefs--mine is based on the biblical idea that man has a fallen nature.
He's going to say natural selection.
<Snipped quote by Legend>
You want the real answer or the one you'll accept?
Loaded question. You already set yourself up psychologically as being right and me being wrong. I don't partake in discussions on unequal footing.
<Snipped quote by Legend>
Selfishness: "I want my way." Pride: "I am right." If another person has an idea contrary to ours, then pride or selfishness puts us at enmity with the other idea. Enmity leads to fighting.
You're jumping from pride to fighting. You're skipping steps.
<Snipped quote by Legend>
Fighting is the logical outcome of the selfishness and pride ingrained in human nature. We want our way, we want to be right, and so anyone who wants anything else or has another idea must be wrong, and we have to prove to the world that that's true.
How is fighting the logical outcome?
I wonder why fighting is such an integral part of human nature.

What else? I am pretty good at rescue missions!
There are tons of benevolent projects out there. Not my cup of Argon, but they exist.
<Snipped quote by Legend>
Because Soul makes incredibly long posts? lol
Which isn't absolutely necessary.
<Snipped quote by Legend>
Look at that second post in the pic. =D
Meh.
