In the end, it doesnโt matter how well we have performed or what we have accomplishedโa life without heart is not worth living.

John EldredgeAggression is part of the masculine design, we are hardwired for it.... Little girls do not invent games where large numbers of people die, where bloodshed is a prerequisite for having fun. Hockey, for example, was not a feminine creation. Nor was boxing.
