Crap! I keep getting so ripped that keep forgetting my password. Hi, Everybody! I'm Cody Bleep. Tonight, while smoking marijuana of course, I had an epiphany. We piss off every person we ever meet and every person we meet pisses us off at least once. Think about it. A child's parents say things like "No!" or "Go to your room!" As a child, I'd be pretty pissed off about stuff like that. At the same time, I do things that piss my parent off such as breaking something and not telling them then they find out, or for being rude to them. A sibling steals your favorite toy and it pisses you off. You take it back and it pisses them off. When the kid goes to school, he pisses off every one he meets. Friends, random people he don't like such as teachers, annoying staff, and bullies. When the he gets a girlfriend, he'll do something that pisses her off (literally) jk figuratively and she will piss him off too. They will do that to each other as husband and wife for as long as they both shall live i do you may kiss the bride AMEN! His co-workers and boss will piss him off and he will piss them off. His own children will disobey him and piss him off. And the cycle continues. I gurentee that if you think long and hard O====3, about a person, you can remember a time where you pissed them off and a time when they piss you off. Try it! I pissed off everybody I know and they pissed me off! Let me know if it works!
As individuals pursuing our own self-interests, we do things that are either at the expense of others (your example of the sibling stealing the toy), or that require exclusion of others ('ownership,' property). Our unlimited wants exceed our limited resources, and conflict becomes inevitable. Your epiphany is the foundation for much of political philosophy.

Yeah this. I always wanted to be the kid with the latest Gameboy. I still kinda want this, it just happens to be a different "toy". I always think about how people really don't change much, they just grow. Which is kinda changing... but not.
Sometimes it's hard to see the child in the adult they've become, but they're there. The body is different, older, looks "grown up". They act sophisticated, drink alcohol, sound important, but are still the little child inside, if they're really honest. Experience, time, has changed things, but only externally. They see themselves in the mirror and believe what they see, but it is an illusion they like the sight of. They have forgotten how much they longed to be older, taken seriously. How much they wanted life's restrictions gone so they might do what other people do. They have simply buried the child within. But he is there. Wanting to come out and play. If only they'd let him.
