we need conflict

We can not live in an ideal world.

We need to feel pain in order to live.

In the #Universe25 experiment, Calhoun, a scientist, created the ideal world for mice: great temperature, and unlimited access to food and water to enable the population to grow. After reaching a certain amount of population, when every social role became occupied -> competition started. It led to the collapse of social roles and relationships. The mice population was on the edge to disappear.

Calhoun's conclusion: when you create the ideal condition for the body: good food, no stress, ideal temperature, etc ->aka no problems -> there is no way spirit can develop. When the spirit died, the mouse/body died.

We need to experience stress, tension and anxiety in order to socialize, to stay connected. Pain helps us to develop our spirit.

Herein is the paradox of a life without work or conflict.
