"Why do you help people? Why do you spare them the touch of suffering. We learn and grow through adversity. We become stronger through strife. By helping the weak you are merely prolonging their incompetence and ensuring that they will always suffer. By helping others you are feeding off of their weakness, and strengthening yourself. To truly ‘help' people, you must ensure that they acquire the skills necessary to survive. To merely save someone from danger is akin to giving the starving man a fish. You have saved them temporarily, whereas, if you were to leave them to fend for themselves, you would be teaching them to survive on their own, ‘to fish' as the proverb goes, and will thus be ensuring they never fall into strife again." -Dretht't Reaper, January eighth, 2054 A.D.
Now, the soda and the ice. You see, the reason the Soda goes flat when poured on Ice is because the defender always has an advantage. By putting the ice in first you are giving the ice a chance to fortify its position and build a set of bulwarks from which it can launch its stingingly cold attacks at the charging forces of the great Sodus empire, (yes, there is a Sodus empire, its called Pepsi.) Now, if you were to instead pour the Sodus in first it would have a chance to build its defenses and would thus be prepared to meet the Iceus hordes head on and fight a righteous holy war of mass Sodus and Iceus genocide. The only true way to be impartial and assist neither Empire would be to pour your Soda in the glass AS you plunk in the ice. Thus, neither would have a chance to defend and that would ensure that the slaughter was even greater!
As for why they must continue to fight, well, any predator, when placed in a confined space with little resources will attempt to survive by any means necessary. The Ice and Soda are both predators, and will therefore both try to survive by any means necessary, thus destroying each other in the process. Now, the truth of the whole scenario, is that these creatures have been forced into this world by a cosmic being they can never understand, so sayeth it itself, which has the single desire to consume and destroy both of them. This being is of such great strength and might when compared to the Soda and Ice that there really is no hope of defeating it, yet still they try, in case there is a way. Hence Indigestion. This force, known as indigestion, will quite upset the balance of this being, such that said being will attempt to punish those who upset it with the burning acidic pain of an eternity suffering in the pits of Pepto-bismal. This being is in truth very uncaring of the feelings of either side, face it, when was the last time you cared what your Soda thought? Thus, this greater being will continue to devour those beings who will only try to placate it for a short period to spare their brethren from a likewise grisly fate. They will sacrifice themselves over and over again in an effort to satiate the beings hunger, which will ultimately fail until there is nothing left. At which time, once all of the oysters have been shucked and devoured, after everything is dead and gone into an inky black oblivion of an empty glass, the being will create a new world, exactly like the old one, and fill it with more Soda and Ice and repeat the cycle of death and destruction over and over again. The being feeds off the pain of those without any choice in what they do, and never once does it care.

P.S. Just so everyone knows, in case you didn't already figure it out. I wasn't talking about pop.
P.S.S.
"Thus another day ends, and another heart dies,
Thus the living weep, while the dead feel pain,
Thus it is the fate, that only the dead live forever,
Thus it is true, that time affects only the timeless,
Thus the Dead lie, without a care for the Living,
Thus the Living lay, with nothing but fear of the Dead,
Those who live fear death, those who die know death,
Those who fight give death, those who don't receive death,
Those who fear death, are beheld in shame in front of all,
Those who lust for death, are beheld mad in front of all,
Those who bring death, are beheld in fear in front of all,
Those who save from death, are cherished in front of all,
Those who bring death, save others from the pain of life,
Those who bring life, condemn others to the pain of life,
Those who cannot feel, feel no pain from life,
But those who cannot feel, feel the most pain from that void,
Thus the circle turns always ever on and on
Thus this world progresses from day into the night,
Thus time whittles away forever more,
Thus the cosmos passes overhead without a care,
Thus the cries continue on into eternity,
Thus another day ends, and another heart dies..."
P.S.S.S. I would like EVERYONE to now once again read the disclaimer in my first post.
