Ok, so I feel it in my heart to kill your mother. You feel it in your heart to kill me because of that. Then my brother kills you, then your dad kills my brother, can you see what's happening here? I'm sure even the best of people have wanted to hurt someone sometime. But the difference is that they know it's wrong, so they control themselves, rise above it, and no one gets hurt.
You say we're like domesticated animals. Yes, we have rules and laws. But you wouldn't want an untamed wolf for a pet would you? You'd get hurt. That's why people think their actions through. It's called being unselfish. Thinking of other people's wants before your own. If EVERYONE was selfless, think what the world would be like?
