Humans need power, which will enable them to do their will or at least make them feel safe from the fear that comes from other parties. An attitude of selfishness is a powerful incentive, making one person the oppressor of another. Strength is the key to gaining power, and power is the goal of limitless conquest.
Homo homini lupus, a short phrase first uttered by Plautus in 195 BC, which means that humans are wolves to other humans, is an affirmation that humans consider the conquest of other humans to be natural. Human life is like wolf life in the wild. We pounce on each other, rob, hurt, and seize the property of other humans. Historically, our time span has been filled with blood and tears. And the stream won't even dry up yet.
There is no sign that homo homini lupus will be eroded by cultural civilization. There is not a single sign that humans are no longer wolves for other humans. Until now, we still kill each other, kill each other, destroy each other for obvious or unclear reasons. Human desire to dominate other humans is limitless.
Man has no fangs, no horns, no claws that make his enemies shudder. But we have heads full of cunning and rottenness. A weapon that is the most dangerous of all natural selection. Almost no limit of thought can get in the way. Soaring all the strength, hitting the entire barrier.
Until when humans will always be wolves for other humans? Will that pathetic destiny last forever until space and time stop growing? Or could man think to at least suppress his urge to muzzle his brethren. Make our life a little more civilized than times it has been.
