The battle of dominion at the very bottom of the evolutionary chain, is simply dominion over extinction; an urge for survival. As we come higher in the chain, we face new battles for dominion, which are battle of dominion between species, which species comes higher in the food chain, which species relies less on other species' survival (adoptability) and who gets the ladies!!!!
In higher mamals and primates however the mood suddenly changes, there is an urge for dominion within the species, which is called "who leads the gang around here dude?", this is why male lion defines a territory and aggressively defends it, although I must say the move up the chain does not mean that the lower battles of dominion are phased out, no a male lion still needs to sit on his ass while the lady does the shopping or in this case hunting. Interesting enough through out evolution domination of a gender over the other gender (male over female, or vise versa) has become less important, while standing out among the other members of the same gender has gained importance, the main battle is over which Lion gets to keep the ladies (The Dominant) and who goes with his tail wagging between his legs (The Subordinate).
Humans (as higher primates) also face the battle of dominion, in our notion we call this "leading or being led". In case of mankind the battle has evolved into curious dimensions that of races, religions, countries and football teams!
The interesting fact of the matter is that there is another side to dominion which is subordination, for he who leads, there is one who is led. So in a sense the relationships, all of them whether romantic, sexual, financial or so on, involves one who is dominant and one who is dominated. This is like the negative and positive poles of a magnet. This is what ensures that a relationship is sustained (although one does not necessarily need to be dominant in every aspect of the relationship)

Saint Julio de la Marquee Preeches the Masses at the Global Village
There is an inevitability involved with "Guilt", it will eventually be present in everyone of us. The guilt follows when we do something we desire and even when we abstain from it, in later case it will be called "regret" which is essentially guilt, however a morally justified one.
It is interesting that "pleasure" has been attached to guilt, it is an essence of being human, the guilt and shame have been interwoven into our souls, so that while we enjoy pleasure and it actually has biological and psychological benefits for us, it is associated with a level of guilt or shame, this makes us wary of being joyful, thus human is intently devided in two, The one who sins and enjoys, and the one who bears the guilt and suffers.
Guilt is felt when one follows the stream of nature. in lower species in the evolution chain what pleasurable senses the nature has provided them with shall be satisfied, a dog won't abstain from eating or copulating when the occasion arises. However, we humans have developed "morality" as opposed to pleasure, the orthodox jews believe that the divine way is to fight the nature and it's urges, in a sense there is a battle going on inside us, the ever lasting battle between good and evil, which both are merely human concepts, the good and bad are created and maintained by mankind so that there is always a struggle facing us, moral dilemmas, all of us have had them and will have them. There is no single human being who can say that I don't have a moral stand point, all of us, even the lowest of us, eventually reach a point where good and bad are differentiated, and we choose our battle ground, which for every individual is always the good side! although this good side may oppose the good side of others, or the morality of the society.
Guilt follows us every where, I bore witness when he, the Jesus, himself was put on the cross, and in those last moments of life, he fancied Mary the magdalen, and dreamt of copulating with her, so even he died guilty. There is a battle of guilt always raging on inside of us, the battle which is basically:
Me Vs. Me

Beware! You never know when you are being counted...
This applies to sheeps, humans, posts, gigabytes and ...
...
Einstein once said "not all that can be counted counts and not all that counts can be counted"
however, you'd better be careful, 'cause you are being counted (who knows for whatever perverted reason)
