In general, moving to higher heights is a desirable change for the vast majority of people. It is the natural instinct to want to be "on top". Perhaps, this is why animals as well as humans want to be up there in everything. Everyone will like to be the "head of the pack", in a manner of speaking. Sometimes, this gives rise to a lot of struggle, some of them becoming quite violent. I have seen animals fight almost to death in order to banish competitions as the head of their territory.
This is quite obvious among humans too! Depending on the position, the "fight" could take different forms. Sometimes it is political "fight", in which case there are verbal debates and other forms of verbal exchanges.... It is just natural. At other times, it could be other forms of competition. I have witnessed some very violent political oppositions, which involved human lives!! In places of work, I have observed different types of tactics to get people down because of rivalry.
I wonder how much physical heights fascinates humans also. No doubt, going higher physically has its fascinations. Mountain climbers will be able to tell us more about how they feel at higher heights. Actually, other competitive sports are no different, since everyone wants to be "on top.
Being on top must need some form of adaption. Higher physical heights have less air, so those up there need to be adapted to it. It makes me think of very high buildings and those who live on the top floor ( I won't. since I am scared of physical heights). One advantage of being up there, whether having an office space there or an apartment is that you will be able to see much of the city. It must be a great feeling to be so high up
Would you like to live on top of very high buildings?
