Instead of starting wars, we can learn how to wage war against our own ego!

Question from the Internet:

“What do you think about the idea of starting wars as a necessary evil?”

I think it is a very “wasteful" revelation of the “evil" between us, causing massive, unnecessary destruction.

If you think it is necessary to initiate such destruction in order to start a rebuilding process whole “culling" the excess population, then basically you are suggesting continuing with the helplessly recurring vicious cycles of history.

The problem is that the cycles have been getting shorter, while the inevitable civilization-ending explosions are getting more intense, destructive.

The last such explosion happened only 70–80 years ago with terrible loss of human life. The next one — we could ignite any moment was a result of the worsening global crisis, tension, unsolvable socioeconomic and environmental problems — could wipe all of us out.

If anybody believes that they can control a global war based on biological, chemical, nuclear weapons or even cyber-warfare, that person is a fool, and doesn’t understand global integration, interdependence.

Instead we need to reveal and learn to control our inherently “warmongering", hateful, egotistic and exploitative nature in safe, controlled, “laboratory" circumstances through the right educational method.

As a result we can start waging war against our own ego instead of fighting others!

Then we could also learn how to build a nature-like, integrated, mutually responsible and mutually complementing humanity - above and despite everything that separates, reject us from each other - that is capable of solving problems together, finally escaping the blind, instinctive vicious cycles.
