Quote:I have a good one:

 

What is "War"?

 

"What is War?"

 

Depending on which side you're on, or, not on in most cases. It's a unique situation, a decree, an excuse or justification to storm the lands of a country you've deemed an enemy to your own. It's an excuse or justified reason to kill millions of people whether purposely or by accident. As the centuries have turned, it's grown further more complex than that. People have killed eachother over land, slavery, race, religion, and rights. Some people believe their is an evil force or group of people that have rigged the table on a global scale and dictate any side they want to see rise or fall with just a few small meetings and decisions made at a table somewhere.

 

For me, personally. It's a shame. Yet it's in our nature for us to destroy eachother over various reasons. It's a sad part of life that must be accepted. Preferrably at a young age. You can go back to ancient cultures all over our World. Doesn't matter if you're looking at the Ancient Mayans, Aztecs, and Incans of South America. Doesn't matter if you're looking at the ridiculous amounts of small wars and rebellions throughout the centuries in Europe and Asia. The territorial battles and guerilla warfare in modern South America and Africa. It just doesn't end. Even in our Country. In it's young history compared to the rest of the Countries in our World. We've seen and been involved in a pleothra of Wars.

 

It's just in our genetics to destroy eachother. Whether you believe God created mankind or Sciene and Biology allowed mankind to come into play overtime gradually. Whatever reason or belief. The creator of our genetics didn't seem to think it was a bad idea to leave that strain of violence, greed, and anger in our genetic make-up. For me, growing up. And at the age of 27. I've viewed "War" in three simple sentences now.

 

It's nothing but a bunch of old men talking and young men dying. A fight in which nobody truly wins and everybody loses a bit more of their own personal humanity. And something, or someone, is benefiting financially on an astronomical scale before, during, and post war activities.
