RIVAL
Oh, I’m not aggressive.
Ultimately, I just take the only place in the human animal kingdom
that your amygdala recognises as equivalent to that of your brethren:
That of your rival, who fights for territory against you on death and life.
The weaponry of choice may be different.
This will not stop, unless you do.
No, I’m not aggressive.
I am, in the very sense of the word, ready to take the initiative in battle.
I will not wait patiently til you make the first move.
This will not stop, unless you do.
Man does not learn, unless for fear.
Be afraid, then.
