Frued pre-reading question

Is War or Peace the more natural human state?

When someone hurts you, what is your first reaction, before conscious thought occurs, before any thing else happens, what is your first instinct?
For the majority of us, it's to strike back, and try to hurt the person who has hurt us. This is the first thought, and is made by that dark side of us, that part of us that has many names, but is just one thing: evil.
Conversely, there is the other side of us, the peaceful side, the side that comes in when we stop following our primal instincts, and start thinking about what we are about to do.
This side of us will instead of returning the hurt, this side of us will seek to know why the person hurt us, and to help them.
So I believe that the question, "Is War or Peace the more natural human state?" is much to simple a question to answer simply by saying "war" or "peace". I think that you must first define the human being as either being the dark side of us, the good side of us, or a mixture of them both. For the dark side, war is the more natural state, for the thinking side of us, peace is the more natural state, and for a mixture, which we are, the answer is both.
This is because every human being is different, and has a different mixture inside them of dark and light, good and evil, yin and yang, and both are necessary.
Without the evil, we would not be able to take risks, and would be back millennia developmentally. And without good, we would have no compassion, and would be at eternal war.
And that is why I believe that neither is the more natural state.
