My roomate and I just finished arguing tonight (again) about whether or
|
|
not my Sega Saturn kicks his Sony Playstation's ass. (it does). We tend
|
|
to have these arguements late at night when we are doing the paperwork
|
|
after our shift at our local stuffer-shack, which we happen to manage.
|
|
|
|
After I got home, made the rounds of local BBSes (too broke to call LD
|
|
anymore, still haven't gotten an ISP, female in my life sucks right now...)
|
|
I sat and pondered what drove myself, my friend, and people everywhere
|
|
to argue some of the most inane things to the ground.
|
|
|
|
I mean, it's not confined to such things as video-game systems. Every
|
|
couple of months, someone has to re-vitalize the arguement that has existed
|
|
for more than a decade: Macintosh vs. IBM (and clones, etc etc), sometimes
|
|
tossing in UNIX nowadays for good measure. Now that homosexuality isn't
|
|
faux pax as to the degree it was, I've even heard TEENAGERS arguing
|
|
which 'way' was better. Gay vs Straight.
|
|
|
|
Females against males. Which sex is the dominant one (one look at
|
|
history should make that clear, but chicks just don't get it. Heh.)
|
|
Sports nuts (the bane of human mental evolution) don't just argue team vs
|
|
team anymore, some go as far as to declare their favorite sport as
|
|
being 'better' than others! "Yeah, well soccer is much harder to play than
|
|
baseball", I overheard (read?) one lamer espouse upon the other. What?
|
|
Not to mention religion. Hell, we've had the crusades, the inquisition,
|
|
each one with some nutcase (sent from god, or something) declaring
|
|
his/her religion to be the true one, and slaying any populace who disagrees.
|
|
Racism. Black vs White. White vs Red. White vs (wait, I sense a
|
|
pattern here...) etc...
|
|
|
|
The list goes on and on. It may have no ending, as each generation has a
|
|
new set of conflicts, and re-hashes age-old ones to boot.
|
|
|
|
What fuels this undying need for conflict? Heh, I have a theory.
|
|
|
|
-=No one wants to side with the loser.=-
|
|
|
|
Thats it. Pretty neat theory huh? It took me all of five seconds to
|
|
formulate, and I'm sure (100%) its been thought hundreds of time
|
|
before.
|
|
|
|
But it answers that question completely. Which question? Pick one.
|
|
God vs No-God. White vs Black. Saturn vs Playstation. No one wants
|
|
to be on the losing side. We build up our 'side' inside our psyche, we
|
|
research our 'slant' and make sure we can demolish the opposition when
|
|
we argue. We root for our 'team' in hopes we can drive them to succede
|
|
like we declared. We hope that we weren't slighted by fate and born the
|
|
wrong color. We pray to any deity listening that GOOD games come out on
|
|
our console so we can wave them in our friends faces and say, "See!!@#
|
|
I got the good stuff, you have shit!@".
|
|
|
|
We secretly cherish in our hearts, the knowledge that our opposition will
|
|
be merrily burning in hell when judgement comes about. We laugh before
|
|
we go to sleep each night knowing that christians the world over are
|
|
wasting thier life trying to conform to a myth.
|
|
|
|
When do we as humans assume these 'sides'? Well, sure, we're usually
|
|
born with some of our 'sides' choosen for us by genes. Yeah, some of the
|
|
sides we assume when we make our purchases down at Best Buy. But where does
|
|
the need to fight for some of our choices arise? Why do we feel the
|
|
need to put down our 'opposition', often times when nothing arises to incite
|
|
such hostility?
|
|
|
|
Why do we as humans have this incessant urge to fight one another? Is it
|
|
entirely a bad thing? Which came first...the arguement, or the
|
|
arguementative? I still can't figure out where we get our drive to name
|
|
one thing tantamount to another. I mean, sure, there are some valid
|
|
arguements for many of those cases, but not always. And sometimes its a
|
|
matter of perspective.
|
|
|
|
But still we fight to no end (often times WAY out of proportion) to
|
|
make sure the world understands _we are right_, and everyone else is either
|
|
wrong or agrees with us. I suppose you may be reading and asking yourself,
|
|
"uhm, what was the point I already knew all of that...", and I have no
|
|
answer. Well, other than the fact that if it really didn't interest you,
|
|
you wouldn't have read this far into the article, would you have?
|
|
|
|
I suppose we could argue that too..
