Actually, it's only the luckiest (or perhaps it is that they are unlucky) which survive. Strength but increases ones' 'chances' (... determinism...) of surviving.
And this is a dog-eat-dog world where compassion (kinship, friendship, etc) is optional and plenty often destroys the future potential of a life. That being said, if I cannot have a future by being pleasant: I will not have one at all.
... Please note that I do not find the butchery of my enemy's civilians on a massive scale to be unpleasant.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
