Inherently none of us wants peace, we are all born for war!

Question from the Internet:

“Why don’t some want peace?”

Nobody actually wants peace. Those who say or shout that they want peace, want it the way they imagine it, the way it serves their interest while they want to erase and destroy those who bother them.

We are not born to want true peace as we are all born with an inherently self-serving, self-justifying, hateful and exploitative nature. We all define ourselves by comparison to others, by proving ourselves better, higher, stronger, more controlling and wealthier than others.

This is how we are programmed thus we are neither evil nor sinful. But we are supposed to recognize this destructive and warmongering nature in us — that has been causing all the conflicts and wars through history as well as the perpetual crisis and the cold and actual wars of our generation.

Then we will be able to learn how to build positive, constructive, mutually supportive and mutually complementing interconnections and integration above and against our inherent nature — without suppressing and erasing our inherent nature.

Then we will have true peace above and against perpetual conflict and war and then we will also learn what true love is above instinctive rejection and peace as we can’t learn or implement something without knowing, and sensing its opposite.
