It is not obvious from the link I replied with?

I'm pretty stupid in some ways...

If i'm not mistaken it's just hold mispelled

Finally I read about the origin of it, thanks @lukestokes. Always thought it meant something like 'Holding On for Dear Life', but no...

Edit: and on topic towards your post. Yes, if we all would align as human beings we could create a mutually beneficial world for everyone, however, we humans aren't wired like that. Different people aim for different goals, and many are selfish in the short term (maybe just because they lack the intelligence to see the negative impact of their actions down the road).

It was a misspelling of "hold" and became a meme over the years.

Whenever I see it I think of Game of Thrones. HODOR
