How can we as people not have any ambitions? Without ambition we’d live in a world of complete nihilism. We need to have some sort of drive or purpose to keep us going; otherwise the world would fall on itself. Whether it’s the greed that you see in people to make money anyway they can, or the empathy to help people, we need a drive. This drive helps us advance, gives us reason to improve and expand. There are dark sides to it however; it is not a system to make everyone happy. It’s more that if you want to do something, you can go for it. You may or may not succeed, but you have the possibility of fulfilling your ambition. Someone might share your ambition and you might end up fighting them. At that point both you and your opponent are fighting for your ambition, which can essentially be your world. At that point you will either be the person who taken away a world or your world is taken away. When your world is at stake, you will do anything it takes to keep it safe, even if it means taking someone else’s world. Ambition can be brought too many things, even a fight for survival, so I guess it’s complicated. This is all I can think of off the top of my head. I can expand in the comments if you ask a question
