“It’s mine. I won’t give it to anyone.” Imagine an animal- let’s say a dog- that comes across a juicy bone and it starts to chew at that bone mindlessly. It instinctively works to eat away at all the meat on the bone because it believes that there is a danger that someone might steal its food. The same 100-thousand-year instincts have remained in people, too. We eat too quickly and greedily. Today, as a rule, there’s no danger in anyone stealing those “bones” from us. We simply have maintained our old fears. Returning to the example of the dog, if it notices that another dog is wandering around 50 meters away, it starts to bark and the danger intensifies. Isn’t that the precursor to the political struggle if we imagine a government in the dog’s place?
