How many people have stressful jobs and overbearing bosses who would kill them if things weren't done just right? And when they come home, all they want is to eat dinner, watch TV, and sleep. Should any problem happen to interrupt that, they explode.
Go read the story of Potiphar and Joseph in the Bible.[0] Say what you will about it being real or not, that story is thousands of years old, and there are still people just like Potiphar today. You think bosses demanding perfection each time is a modern innovation? We have so much knowledge and rights, surely we must be so much better than people who lived thousands of years ago? We have better toys and are more prosperous, but we're still the same.
We're very much the same animals. If you need a testament, just go drive on any major east coast highway in the morning. People rage, go get ahead maybe 5 feet. Saving what, fractions of a second?
We are animals, the same animals we were 3,200 years ago. Just fancier toys this time around. Serfdom is still largely intact, just a different flavoring this time around.
