Using Ender's Game

I recently saw the film Ender's Game. It made me think about how I should behave when I need something that someone has. When a resource is necessary for my survival I would rather ask the people who have that resource if I could share it. It is a slim chance that they will share these days because peoples around the world have gotten so selfish. I would offer to trade something or service for the resource. If the group controlling the resource refused to give me the resource I needed to survive I would find another way or my life would end. I would never try to take the resource by force. Ender's Game forced me decide that defending myself means beating someone back without pursuing them. I could not destroy another person or group even if they attacked me. It is not that I am afraid or noble, I just do not see the point in destruction. Nature resets environments without our help, so I am in no hurry to destroy. I would rather spend my time created something useful like a view of the film Ender's Game.
