war

"you cannot prevent and prepare for war at the same time" -Albert Einstein

War is not a subject to be taken lightly. To be honesty i hate talking about stuff like this, but I will do so any way.
i believe that there is no such thing as world peace. although i do believe in peace. war is inescapable. humans have it written in their d.n.a to fight and to cause wars over nothing.
Wars are always caused by one of three things 1. sex 2. money or 3. religion!
i suppose you would want some proof, well i can give you a war for each i cause.... for the first one sex would be troy vs. Greece commonly known for it's place in the Odyssey. the second one, money, which i often feel that money equals power clearly making it the root of all evil comes up as the American revolution. the Americans of course weren't looking for power or more money at the time but Britain was, fortunately for me the Americans had a real reason to win. But enough of that let's move on to number three religion the easy answer to that is the crusades ... which is a no brainer when comes right down to, I mean I don't know the specifics of the crusades in fact i basically no nothing more than that it was about religion .. i know that Christians were involved and i would bet money that either Muslims or Jews or on the other side fighting! but i would put more on it being Muslims.

I hate war and wished it would end but as i said earlier there is no such thing as world peace. i can only hope ad pray that I am wrong!

  2. actually, i could thinkof a couple other things to add to the list.
    #4 would be territory, villages in Africa are still fighting even today over land disputes.

    #5 simple rebellion, no one likes rules and no one wants to follow them. Still, laws have their reasons for being there and definitly for good reason.
