Asterism 31 - Combat; Conquest
Humans have always been in violent conflict. Man vs. man,
tribe vs. tribe, nation vs. nation. Sometimes the battle is between
equals (Combat). Sometimes it is the strong overwhelming the weak
(Conquest). It is never pretty, but it is part of humankind, and has
been a dynamo for change. It molds the next generation (winners write
history; losers have few children). Fighting and violence have always
been with us, and we may never abandon it. History is sometimes defined
as a list of wars (Conquest).
