War and my questions
What war can do? The first question; It can kill, it can destroy, it can shed blood... What war can produce? The second question; it can produce orphans, empty laps, refugees, hungry stomachs, empty future... Even when we know war can do no good; why we indulge ourselves in war? The third question; I don't have certain answer. Is it human instinct or nature to get one self involve in violence? The fourth question; for this too I don't have a precise answer...
Human have faced war with different names. In the ancient human faced crusade; war for and against religion, then came the territorial war extending their empire as far as possible, then started first and second world war, then the new form of war between two ideologies communist and Capitalist lead by U.S.S.R and U.S.A named as cold war, now new form war has terrorized the world called war on terrorism and the next may have a new name… What good can we see? What solution has the war brought? Nothing! Everyday as I see and hear the news more than 90% of the news is dominated by war, violence, devastation...
My third and fourth questions hit me harder than any other when I think of war. Does human mind have a tendency for violence? As what the Freud had said. Does human really have a Dionysian quality as what the Nietzsche had said? I sometimes feel like believing these two guys more than any other as they can see the surrealism of human mind. We know war is absurd but I too think going against war is also absurd if it is a human tendency or quality. We also know that reality bites.
