The Fjord Preamble

Why do we fight?

Men have always done it. They would start fights when they were angry at another, when they had something to protect, or when they needed to protect themselves. But that was personal conflict. That made sense.

When civilization finally came along, these were no longer excuses for fighting. Civilizations couldn't be angry, because they were not people. Nor were organizations or corporations. Yet even then, they got the support of people to fight their wars. Wars were no longer personal – they were fought over religions, over resources, and sometimes for no reason at all.

That's how it still is. The majority of us tend to dislike war, yet we never think of what the war is fought for in the first place. We never realize that we've never been forced to fight a war, that one day we can all sit down and not do anything.


I'd like to see their war then.
