People all over the world are just like you and me- trying to carve out their own slice of happiness and support their families. It's the "leaders" who are fucked in the head.
I don't think we've fought a just war since WW2, and even that gets a bit murky the deeper you delve. There was more to it than Hitler's genocidal ways. He needed to be killed, absolutely. But try digging into why Germany developed their mindset, and it becomes a bit clearer. Before I'm crucified, I am NOT advocating for Nazi Germany. But look into what Germany was attempting to do pre-WW1, and read War is a Racket by Smedley, and it becomes clearer.
Some very good thoughts here, there is one though that keeps coming back to me, If we could remove evil from this world should we ?. Let me explane, evil is a powerful basic driving and building force, it drives good and all the things good does. If we remove evil then good has no driving force and dies, if we remove good evil has no need to exist and will stop doing so. There is no balance between the two forces , it a war.
Look at the world, look at what is going on in the citys I feel sometime there is a 3th force acting, driving good and evil to fight. As I said it matters not who wins the winner will destroy its self , will this unseen but sensed 3th force then step in and take power.? Understand im not saying this is so, but more and more people are sensing there is something we dont understand about this conflict between what we call good and evil
