Why do we fellow humans fight each other? That is the burning question that maybe is on everyone's mind. Humans fight each other in many different ways. Whether it's war or whoever has the better vehicle, there will always be some kind of battle and competition between us. One thing we must know is that, we must put each of our petty differences aside, and be united as one. One thing that each human is maybe guilty of is competition between one another. We see that someone has a better job or a better house, and then we walk away and under our breath, we say negative things about that person. Do you know why that person has those things and you don't? Hard Work. Therefore, some of us get into major debt and we try to compete to see who has the better house, better car, better life in general. Instead of us trying to keep up with other human beings, try to keep up with yourself. Humans use material possessions to fight one another, using that as a "look at my life and look at yours", ultimately we try to play the "survival of the fittest" card, which in war, other countries play that card as well. Ask yourself these questions so instead of fighting each other, somehow we can help each other:

If I have a great job and have a great income, what could I do to give back to my community?

If if I don't have a great income, what can I do to make not only my life better but someone else's as well?

Instead of fighting, we can use the resources that we have to help each other, not fight each other. We can all survive and we can all live plentiful lives. The constant battle that us humans share is all around us, whether it's tension from different countries or socio-economic classes. Humans were put on this Earth to share our love and help out one another. By fighting, we are all doomed to eventually die. If we keep fighting, whether it's countries in war or different social classes feeling heat from one another. Eventually, all that we will do is fight, and where does fighting take us after that? Fighting will only have tensions rise, and then we will all hate each other and things could get ugly. Ultimately, I think we fight each other because of "Survival of the fittest", if you aren't strong enough to fit into society, other humans will take you down and destroy you. By all of us working together, we can live in a place that happy and instead of us being in this constant competition with each other, we need to support one another. If you are a human that is simply unhappy with your life, do something about it. Analyze what exactly the problem is, maybe it's not society that's the problem, maybe it's yourself. Once you find your happiness, spread your happiness around. Once we help our fellow humans, we can once again live in a world, where supremacy of humans won't be on everyone's radar.
