i've been saying for many years that i don't know how anyone who has raised 2 or more children could have any delusions about world peace. the story of cain and abel did not fall out of the sky. even though siblings are made of the exact same genetic material, and thus could not be closer or more homogeneous, any parent knows they can be vicious toward each other.
when i stumbled onto this video of identical twins, barely old enough to sit up, and yet fighting over a pacifier, my instincts were confirmed even more concretely about the perpetual strife that is the hallmark of humanity. identical twins, even more so than mere siblings, are the closest nature comes to a single spirit in two beings. but as the video shows, it doesn't make a fucking bit of difference. the overriding imperative is, i want. and if that means i have to poke your eye out to get what i want, well, such is the world. oh stop whining.
