Well in my opinion, people function on their survival instinct, and what drives that is fear, or at least, fear is the motivation. Although fear is really simple, it seems to web off in so many directions that no longer include tigers eating us, not in these modern societies. But it’s still there in the form of social status and all, and it seems that people mostly act out of fear, no matter how long winded it draws itself out. Maybe a bully fucks people up, to make sure nobody fucks him up. Stuff like that.
Although perhaps desire and greed are responsible for what I think drive people, I’m not entirely sure, nor will I ever probably know, but that’s what I think about it, anyways. Either way it’s related to our will to live.
Then again, most people just wanna lead happy lives and be normal. So I denno what I’m talking about. My answer was rooted in something way too universal to properly approach the subject, but I still think it’s man’s nature to fuck up his fellow man. Why, well as I say, got my thoughts, but I ain’t making any kinda statement out of em.
