The Eternal Struggle
Aggression. Bloodshed. Pain. Death. These are just some of theunfortunate side affects which accompany the phenomenon of life. These factors are also intertwined with the methodical process of evolution, which, although often cruel and merciless, is nonetheless beneficial to any species of animal, including, and perhaps especially, humans.
