Why Is War Normal And Acceptable?

De Fence...

 

it isn't. but there are actually people who seem to want it to be. they are almost never the people on the ground where it happens. or at least not a majority of them. but bored people in lands far away from where they happen seem to think its a really neat idea.

 

Nature's way of cleaning house...what happens when a mouse cage is over crowded? They start fighting and eating each other.
This is one theory I have heard and made most sense to me...as well, as just plain greed...and power hungriness.

 

Resources converted to commodities at all costs, including the staggering and continuing loss of human life and it seems to be the most important
manifestation of human existence at this time. Humans have always just taken what they desire from their fellow humans by using clubs

& rocks to the modern way of taking the resources of others--planes, bombs, etc. Life is cheap. Sooooo---as usual=follow the money/resource acquisition.

 

Yes, that is correct humans are not amphibians, but biologically speaking amphibians are animals too. amof

 

Sadly, War - Here, There and indeed Everywhere is an Inevitable way of the World, Yesterday. Today and Tomorrow

 

War keeps the human mind with people (per corporeality) away from this mind simultaneously concerned for the things per inhuman extinction.

 

sorry, but that is not even close. rather an extremely immoral and inexcusably poor excuse.

you are also mistaken about yesterday and tomorrow. there have indeed been vast periods in human history without war.
(unless you think human history began with christianity. which is a completely nonsense assumption)
and if there is anything inevitable, it is that there will come a time, when war will have become completely obsolete.

(and for completely practical and natural reasons, having nothing to do with belief)

war is neither natural, normal, moral, nor in any way inevitable. the exact opposite of each.
it has to be started artificially and intentionally to even exist.

 

Even when they have enough food? Otherwise it could just be plain old hunger that's triggering them to eat eachother.

 

So you contend. Every living thing creates temporary conditions for themselves to the extent they are able. Men come together making them together more potent than they are alone. There is nothing unnatural about war but it is not an efficient or reliable tool in consolidating effort toward a desired aim. The claim unnatural when observing the natural world is naturally known as moralizing.

 

I've got the answer to this one; I've got the answer to this rather un-biasing question. Either Religion or War is normal and acceptable. Really Religion could be the abnormal pressured revelation throughout the civilized epoch of intelligent life on Earth. Religion teaches that all human individuals are Equal, all life on Earth encouraged to self-benevolence, reflection in the mind is truly at heart a shared activity for the social engagement. All of that is abnormal; through war the Social conscience is to defend justly for the individual survival of both the species and the personal creature of humanity learning: that there can be some kindly: "justice for All".

And then justice for All nevertheless is the Normal state for providence; definitions take control; definitions for the Mind mean the normality and recognition of fellowman.

But, of course, we can reverse that back to the original 'God' of History' needy comment. That way Religion is the normal conscience for the human Being developing to it's higher form of being as Gods. And war is an abnormal aberration of changing this structure to God's warning that He, Man, not be so conceited.

 

King Kamahamaha united the warring Hawaiin factions and "gave" EVERYONE a piece of land for themselves and their families. Thus

achieving peace, in the main. So it can be done. (of course the whites with their religions/greed, fomented a phony revolution to overthrow

the queen, Liliokulani, but that's another---)

I think that when everyone has a piece of the earth to live on and enjoy and greed is recogized as the bane of human societies--peace

will/can? be the inevitability. Naaaaah--shut up and fuck somebody--greed is just too powerful an aphrodisiac to humankind. It's dulled the mind to what could/should be on our little traveling island.

 

The Universe unfolds before us on our miniscule, ever moving dot through unknown space. We're coming from someplace, going to some unknown place and what is seemingly -----

important to the humaniod types that CAN or could make our little blue ball an equitable, pleasant place for habitation--will have none of it. They act as if they are no smarter than ants in an anthill, operating on the lowest levels of human behavior. What's intesting to me,

is that some percentage of humans--say well over 90%, do not want war and yet we still have it. So, we must ask ourselves---what/ who

needs to change? Or BE changed?

 

You seem to be implying that change, when unacceptable to all, makes war normal and acceptable as the means of imposing change.

 

Huh?

 

hint: Or BE changed?

 

Tell it to the Brits.

Aside from voting, much blood has been shed to gain change, some rightly, some wrongly. Sometimes, people just become tired of, for example, having their political system

completely (almost) taken over and removing any real choice from citizens. As when money and power by a few have been determined to be the driving force in election

results as we now have in the US. People should think about how they vote when they consider a banking-Wall Street cartel that can ruin hundreds of thousands of lives

for ill gotten gains. To almost destroying the world economy. Have they changed? Don't believe so. Over the past century or so, we've lurched from one financial catatrophe after another. Fault of the middle class?

Don't think so. Always seems to be the same old type whose actions whip-saw the workers back and forth from comfortably enjoying a middle class life to forcing millions

out of work while they continue to reap huge profits and quibble about raising a minimum wage to 10 or 15 bucks. Need change?

 

And what "vast periods" are these? Are you simply referring to recorded instances of war? A war does not simply stop being a war because no one wrote down that it happened. War has always been with humanity in one way, shape, or form and it will continue to be with humanity. It isn't going away.

 

Why is war not natural?
