Every single one of us is descended from thousands of generations of
people (and before we were "people") who all had to fight tooth and nail
to survive and reproduce, and every single one of them did. All of our
ancestors fought successfully for their own survival and the survival of
their offspring, often to the death, out-competed their rivals for mates,
and mated. (And eventually karked it, but that's life...)

It's only been in the last few thousand years that we've needed more
advanced skills, we're still hard-wired to respond to stress with terminal
physical aggression, or olympic-record winning sprints in the other
direction. It was totally necessary to get us to where we are now.

Sabre-toothed tigers can't be put on hold or told to leave a voicemail.
And you can't really rip out your bank managers throat with your teeth, or
anyone who disagrees with you philosophically or economically etc. Well,
you can, perhaps, but only once ;)

The diplomatic approach doesn't really come naturally, in my opinion, you
need to overcome your internal Conan the Barbarian instincts first...

"KRUSH YOUR ENEMIES, SEE DEM TRIVEN BEFOR YOU, HEAR DA LAMENTATIONS OF DA
WOMEN"
