Dear,
Why does one want to dominate the other?
The reason is simple- survival, physical survival. You look at animals. If you want to understand the human mind, look at animals because that is where we are coming from. In the group of animals, who survives? The strongest one, the one who can dominate. In a group of males, who gets the female? The one who can win and kill everybody else.That is what happens in the animals. Kill the others, dominate them, injure them and then you have the access to the female. That is why it is always called the survival of the fittest, the Darwinian selection, and all that. Because of this the off-spring that is born, is born out of the strongest male. So the species gets strengthened and strengthened.
So physically we are conditioned to be violent, dominating. All that is there in your physiology. But we can go beyond that, at least after the age of twelve, we can go beyond that. A child cannot be excepted to go beyond that, but we can. We must, if we are to be human. We must go beyond this conditioning.
When you are in fear, you want everybody to toe your line. You do not want creative intelligence. You want to move along a single line, the line of safety. You do not want deviant behaviors. The society does not like individuals because the individual is not afraid, the society is always afraid. The individual is never afraid. It is obvious that the society does not like the individuals. What is the reason that the society keeps on punishing the individual?
Society rewards those who toe its line. They are given all rewards, medals, decorations. Those who are really individuals, are punished by the society because the individual is not afraid, he walks on his own path, he creates his own path. Society says, ‘No! Move along only this path, the other path is dangerous’.
