Summary :
This video is built in the same idea as "Reasons for Hope", », "Liberty, Egality, Fraternity", "The Sphinx", "The Reasons of Hope", 'The Doubt"... It is part of the videos which relies on children's games as a metaphor of the adult's world, with suspension points.

"The most common reason why men desire to harm one another finds its origin in the fact that many men have at the same time an appetite for the same thing; Yet they prove incapable of enjoying it together or of sharing it. Therefore, the strongest of the two will want to possess it. And it shall be decided by the sword who is the strongest." Thomas Hobbes

The child prefers a bad toy, but a toy that is own, and not a toy that he can use in common with comrades. This is how the world of Having goes. Thus the world of Being moves away.
