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.
