No offense taken
I too have no yearning or joy for war. It's just an unfortunate fact that sometimes the only option is that of force. Believe me, I take no satisfaction in violent force of any kind and personally try to avoid it at ALL costs. I would love to live in a Utopia where all we have to do is enjoy life. But I am also a realist, perhaps a bit too jaded by the diurnal nature of our species, who "don't check appearance but I check the way you call 'em" (Pato Baton) and have seen the good and evil, the yin and yang, of pretty much our race as a whole.
Think about it, in the many thousands of years that we have "progressed" we are essentially the same, governed by many primal urges and impulses that really have not changed. We ARE animals at heart. There is just no way around it, it got us this far, and it's a shame that this far is all we are at, but it seems to be a constant that is cycllic in nature. Take a look through history and you will see that the constants don't change, only variables such as technology and society.
It's a shame how some people act. War is always a sad thing, yet some people seem to enjoy it
I agree. But that may just be part of the price we have to pay; for example how can you laugh if you don't know what it is to cry, how can you smile if you don't know what it is to frown, how can there be a heaven if there is no hell, how can there be matter if there is no anti-matter? Maybe we are just victims of the physics of our universe, its bipolar nature.
I have dreams too, not only for us but for our children and our children's children, so when you guys find that Utopia please drop me a line as I will be trying to find it myself and may be a bit distracted
Carpe Diem my friends, may we all get through this latest chapter in human existence and forge better roads to the future
