Our timeless war ( and I lost track of time rather quickly , there was no moon or sun but only the constant light of the Wall ) never ceased to be antagonistic , it got more heated because as we grew to know the enemy it became personal . We realized that we had a practical eternity in which to fight , and they wanted to be the first to broach the Wall as badly as we wanted not to be the first section of the Wall to fall . Maybe they wanted it more badly . I do n't think their downtime was nearly as enjoyable as ours .

Based on the preceding passage, answer the following question Why do we fight this pointless war ?
We wanted to win , to be the victor , to be on top .
