Why do people fight?

Throughout the world there is much resentment. There is much fighting can do to people. With many ways to cope with emotions people still resort to fighting. People may fight
because of envy, nature, and anger.

Everyone has envy. We always seem to want more because we always want the best. We seem to admire people that have it all. When people brag about how they got it made we often get jealous which can lead to fighting. For some reasons are emotions just come out with a swing. There was a 13-year-old boy who had just lost a baseball game! After the game he went to grab a refreshment. One of the teammates who won came over started teasing him. Finally he couldn’t take it and he picked up a bat. First he hit him in the back of the legs and then in the head. He ended up killing him and couldn’t believe what he had just done, it wasn’t like him to do such a thing.

People are animals. Don’t animals fight? It’s in our blood, who ever comes out on top wins. For example when you win a race and you win the other person is left with defeat. That’s life, right? You win some you lose some. They would rather fight and show them whose boss. It’s like our instinct. If you’re tough why not show it off. We naturally have this chemical in our brain known as “Fight or Flight” which allows us to fight or run away!

When people are angry it seems to just build up until it looks there going to explode. That’s why I think it’s easy to resort to fighting. It’s a way to let your emotions run loose. When steam is coming out of your ears it’s hard to cope with your emotions in other ways. Sometimes you’re just so fed up with person that this may be your last resort to shut them up! They just don’t learn to leave you alone!

People resort to fighting because of envy, nature, and anger. Fighting can be destroying and can hurt a person mentally, physically, and emotionally. It maybe can end up knocking sense into people, but mostly destroys relationships! Can fighting really prove your point?
