the loaded spring inside every creature, useful right up until it ruins everything.
means Hostile or violent behavior or attitude, especially the readiness to attack, confront, or push forcefully against someone or something.
from From Latin 'aggressio,' meaning 'an attack' or 'an assault,' built from 'ad-' (toward) and 'gradi' (to step or walk) — so at its root it's the act of stepping toward someone, advancing on them. The same 'gradi' gives us 'progress' and 'congress'; aggression is simply the version where you step at someone with bad intent. It arrived in English by way of French in the 1600s.
