War and Conflicts of Humanity
The concept of war conflicts with the principles and values of our Humane Society, even though throughout history war and violence have been a vast notion of sustaining the Americas as well as many other countries’ imperialistic qualities. It’s nature is both reckless yet sometimes necessary to impose concepts of governing and manners of conduct. violence in itself is a major part of insinuating war abroad America and various countries. Starting usually at home from ideologies that conflict is a significant part of our nature as human beings.
I believe we as humans are not destined to violence or war, granted the ability to sort and analyze our circumstance and act according to what we are taught and exposed to. It is in the nature of animals to find conflict through instinct of survival. As humans have taken this very portion from being part of the class of mammalia and magnified it to the altitude of warfare. This is not our destiny however an imminent poise we as humans have manifested because of enforcement of law and acts of sabotage.
Due to our nature to find meaning in our fluctuating lives and maintain the security of our own beliefs we impede war as a resort when failing to find harmonious options of living amongst one another. For example a person may be destined for greatness. Throughout this persons experiences in life they may find themselves in a position in which they will divert away from the path towards achieving greatness. In a sense war is a stepping stone to enduring a circumstance while your true calling still awaits you.
No one in life no matter where we are should seize to exist due to efforts of conformity. Which is why I feel we are not properly asserting ourselves to our highest degree of reasoning and making amends. I think war is a means to empowerment such as empowering oneself with steroids but by no means does that mean you are destined to become a body builder. This very nature of humans deprives all of humanity and has a domino effect on us all. America represents freedom we are responsible for setting this precedence that war is not a necessity. We must act peacefully to achieve it.
“ The world has achieved brilliance without wisdom, power without conscience. Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about war that we know about peace, more about killing that we know about living”.
I believe this statement is self explanatory. War is a mere mind state believing there is no other way of achieving greatness within countries abroad without conflict in war. Often the concept and reason for war is the layout as the foundation of consigned peace throughout our nation. To achieve peace can never surface if we are so readily able to kill another or destroy another’s view of living. We as Americans believe and have constituted the right to express our own ideologies and freedom of speech.
Yet we contradict these same beliefs fighting abroad other countries claiming to void disparity and create opportunities for peace. We all see on media the death tolls scratching the surface and causing even more conflict and dislike of our methods to justifying war. Wherein we manage to construct peace for some the negatives far out weigh the positives and are objective to accomplishing democracy. Negativity in any manner can never produce positivity. If it is deemed necessary for one to think positive in order to see positive results.
We must create an equal right government in Foreign countries abroad without acts of violence. Resorting to war in any sense of reasoning regardless of the intent is just barbaric. We claim to be a country of leadership and justice for all. Yet we are willing to eradicate those which we consider Tyrants in a means to upholding our law of equality. Peace can never be achieved this way.
“ Give me the money that has been spent in war and I will clothe every man, woman, and child in an attire of which kings and queens will be proud. I will build a schoolhouse in every valley over the whole earth. I will crown every hillside with a place of worship consecrated to peace”.
This quote goes back to what I mentioned before about the true intent and reasoning behind War and violence. While violence itself can be an impulsive reaction to feeling threatened or deprived of some sort. Warfare has been proven to be a stipulation of accumulating mass funds for major corporations and government facilitated organizations. Since when has achieving peace or democracy at least what it stands for been a course of financing our economy. Claims have been made that eliminating war would prove to be devastating to corporations such as Haliburton. As well as technological and manufacturing industries.
Our economy would lose large sectors of our society thus providing less opportunities for employment. However, aren’t we in a large economical deficiency due to war and the over spending of budget cuts provided for such companies that fuel war as we speak. There have been cases of precast profits for example the San Francisco based construction and engineering giants (Betchtel) have received reputations of being lucrative. While following the track records of such profits may be true. There is also truth in the matter of given budgets to improperly reconstruct schools within opportune time. As well as failure to reconstruct a large hospital in Basra.
I would think such organizations built on the greed of money consumption would prove to be contradictive to the state of achieving peace abroad. Knowing this I would suspect will cause more chaos and corruption across foreign countries as well as faithfulness in our own. Democracy can never be achieved under such circumstances.
War and peace the concept of it indeed is loathsome. If we as humans are destined for peace it could never be cohesive with a peoples destiny of martyring. Lasting peace will never be attained through humans dying for this achievement. It’s like setting a goal to acquire a degree. Could it be possible to see through to the end and accomplish it if one dies for it. Who then will be the bearer of it and if it’s not to be achieved in one’s lifetime relinquishing their life for another to witness it. Would that individual not feel discomfort in accepting peace after fathoming the reality it took to get to that state.
Just like the author Leo Tolstoy expressed in his own discomfort analyzing the Russian society during the Napoleonic Era. Often feeling contradicted by his own interpretation of War and the attempt of finding peace. For the sake of censorship he had to revise his original text and compose a new edition he felt disgusted with. America and path to conforming democracy in foreign countries invokes this same loathsomeness. Glorifying our troops in support of their atrocious acts of killing and sabotage as well.
Destiny is inevitable and war is not the answer nor are we as humans destined for acts of violence amongst one another. Since the beginnings of war propaganda has played a strong role in manipulating humanistic beliefs and structure of existing. As humans we should turn those same efforts over to exploiting ways to coexist with one another. How we all can benefit from each other and live according to the true meaning of justice and peace. For example of why sabotage or enforcing one’s law which may constitute for peace is simply not achievable.
“Hate begets hate; violence begets violence; toughness begets a greater toughness. We must meet the forces of hate with the power of love… Our aim must never be to defeat or humiliate the white man, but to win his friendship and understanding.” — 1958
This quote is critical to any aspect of violence, conflict, or war. It pertains to our thought and reactions to those we consider our enemies or a threat. How are we as humans to counteract our opposition and achieve our true destiny as humans through afflicting the same behavior on those who inflict pain and suffering. Peace will beget peace and it’s just as simple as that being said. The road to achieving lasting peace by disposing peace in our approach has proven to only magnify the multitude of disaster. We must set a new agenda to reproach this matter of war and violence with an impeccable drive.
We must stop thinking in the aspect of Darwinism’s “ Survival of the fittest”. Because we as human beings are all fit to survive once we adapt to integrating amongst each other. Social Darwinism explains a theory that competition among all individuals, groups, nations, or ideas drives social evolution in human societies. That is true but doing so has concluded it’s not so much of a great evolution we’ve come to now is it. Yes we have come so far with our ideologies of diversity, equal opportunity, technological industries, arts, energy and culture.
Although we are far from being effective in establishing peace as the only resort to pioneering the values and benefits of long lasting peace within humanity. First we must seize the notion of war and violence being an intricacy and sensibility to the nature of humanity. Once this is accomplished then we can pave the road for a peaceful and unified life for all humans.
“If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other”.
This is the outlook we should all have on each other as the human race, one race of people coming together for a common goal. We are all the same and need to realize this in order to settle the state of crisis we all have been in since the beginning of mankind. If it was meant for us to destroy each other would we have survived this long. For some mysterious reason we continue to reproduce at such alarming rates creating more chances of achieving what is our sole purpose for humanity. That sole purpose is to harmonious with one another and develop one nation under all.
“Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. I hope someday you’ll join us, and the world will be as one”.
I continue to emphasize this very point and way of thinking and encourage all to carry this message with them in order to achieve what is not impossible but may seem at times. We all need to understand we all face hardship, and we are all in dire need of support. Once we can admit this to ourselves then we are responsible of commitment to these beliefs. We must understand the human race is not divided but one to the conjunction of our survival. “Peace is not only better than war, but infinitely more arduous”. I will close my point with this statement if we are to find peace amongst ourselves we must seize with ideologies because it only stirs up confrontation.

Fighting the terrorists !
who are the terrorists ? USA ,,, CIA USA ,,, CIA USA, this was the slogan that the protests were chant-ing years ago.
The continuation and supporting the continuation of the armed resistance in the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, the armed resistance of the Islamic State of Iraq as well as the resistance in the pakistan is the only way thats guarantee the continuation of the most robust defensive frontline to prevent criminal America warmongers from continuing its aggressions on the world.
Its almost, more than 9 years ago when the criminals-warmongers ignited wars on the world, wars on the freedom and wars on the mankind which are all aimed for depopulations and for disaster infliction on the planet. Criminals-warmongers began war on the Afghanistan as a first step and then began another war on Iraq as further step and already had planed to go on for igniting more wars everywhere else !
At the earlier stages, everything went out of the expectations of the warmongers. Criminals-warmongers were confronted by the most fierce and the most intensive armed resistance in the both countries in which the military capabilities of the warmongers were wrecked and are no longer properly functional.
