War is a human thing, it is a matter of nature.
War is embedded in life itself.
Life is a perpetual fight, inner and outer.
One is born to survive and to reproduce. That's all.
I don't want to hear bullshit like “We are cruel creatures and we are the only species killing its own kind”.
If you say that, you are ignorant. Full stop.
Animals fight for their territory. For supremacy.
"Ok, but they don't have nuclear weapons." Yes, I have also heard this bullshit. If they had human intelligence they would have created weapons to fight each other too.
But do you really think that a world with eternal peace is a world in balance?
The principles of Thermodynamics also apply to human behaviour and actions.
An alternation of order and chaos. So it is the balance of opposites that gives a sense to all things and to our very existence.
Without war there could be no peace.
So war is a necessary act, to reorder and find a new and different harmony. And peace is an opportunistic act.
People die in war. Of course, but cynically even here I can say that Nature predicts it.
While ruling a population, one cannot linger over the individual, but over the collective. (The interest of the individual is subordinate to that of the collective).
Even plants wage war against each other. Fiercely.
Yes, life is fierce (in the human conception of course, especially the present one, so soft and sluggish). Every day we fight to survive.
You cannot change human nature. You can refine the techniques and means you give it, so as to change civilisation, but not nature.
Western “culture” has unaccustomed us to many things, including death.
In conclusion, war is simply INSTINCT.
And the sense of life is enclosed in existence itself, in the very fact of coming into the world.
There is no other why.
There is and stop.
