The age-old question. Never gets answered.
I wonder why.

It's a nice question and one could say, well, that's how you can survive. Or maybe that's the natural ebb and flow of social dynamics. The weak and dominant ones get along because they are complementary in many ways. The weak doesn't mind getting dominated, the dominated has something to dominate, and life is good.
But who are you defining as weak and who as strong?
The problem I have with this question is, how do you have the confidence to say one person is weak and one person is strong?
You're limited to only one perspective, yours.
We all create assumptions in our head to fill in any gaps of info about somebody. Then we automatically judge people based on our unverified assumptions and think we know what's up. We
think we see the full picture, and we
think we have figured out a person pretty well, and worse off, we naturally think we are superior than everybody else when nothing could be further from the truth. Our minds create these illusions and we fall for it every time. It's all BS.

i want a picture of someone on their knees with their hands on their head in the street with someone holding a gun to their head. i would preferably like the people to be shrouded in darkness and in the rain.
i have a feeling this is asking the impossible but whatever, maybe someone will have one on their computer.

There's the shot.
Granted, the 15-second scene is much more impressive than just a pic.
