Some people are born fighters. Others are born pacifists.
The fighters have a need to get their way with every issue. They have to be the first in line. Their things must be decorated as they want. They must be given things in the way that they want. They must win each battle – and they see life as a long series of battles.
Not all of these people have high blood pressure or feel tension. Some of them feel comfortable when they are fighting. It does not affect them in a negative kind of way.
On the other hand, those who are not fighters are usually more relaxed outwardly. They are more accepting and willing to do things for other people. They know that there will always be another bus. There will be more food left on the table. There is no reason to be the first on line. They live their lives in a more casual manner and in many ways they are the opposite of the fighters.
