Animus: Aggression

You can see it when a man raises his collar, and his shirt is partially unbuttoned. A burning desire to reveal his presence is evident. World War I and World War II was lost and won by men; children of mothers who raised them to take charge of themselves, rather than taking the world. No man permits himself to be a sitting duck, as his property is taken. A man hides his fears when he goes out on a date. He controls his anxiety by controlling his breathing and speech during the interview between souls. No one else you'll see getting thrilled by life's challenges like a man; it's his nature to set the problems in front of him like pawns in a chess game.... A man indeed is a creation that was designed to struggle, survive and triumph!
