The real world is all about taking sides and defeating threats.
Do you honestly believe that? I mean, I really can't wrap my head around anyone saying this and meaning it. I am not trying to insult you, I just... this is a very simple worldview, that does not allow for the infinitesimal shades of meaning and purpose, that define any kind of interactive relationship. The correlations that in fact, paint the relative picture of micropolitics, geopolitical balance of power, even down to the relationship you and your dad, say, have. When your dad asks something from you that you're not prepared to do, do you go "DAD. YOU'RE EITHER ON MY SIDE, OR YOU'RE A THREAT AND I HAVE TO DEFEAT YOU. WITH THIS PITCHFORK." ? Does coming to terms with people fit in in your "real world" ? Civil discussion over a dispute, where not everybody cares about hammering his point in, but about reaching a mediative solution that will serve all parties, somewhat?
