Are you your thoughts?

Yes. Everything changes. Truth 5.

Yes. Everything changes. Truth 5.

Not sure if you recognize this one or not. War. War never changes.

One day maybe we’ll learn to stop killing each other. What you put out is what you get back. Truth 4.
How war is fought changes.

Part of my evidence for my underlying belief "people are stupid". Which does not negate that individual people can be quite intelligent, but, as a whole... not so much.

How war is fought changes.

Aye. But, not the reasons.

 

[SimonSays]

Aye. But, not the reasons.

War has been fought for many reasons. Certainly there are different reasons. The reasons change.

Far point. Forgot wars of idealogy.

Not really. The specifics may, but the general concepts? No, not so much. All variations on a theme. (or themes).

Yeah. I read about it. Beautiful times that will be.

True, but the specifics change. The people who fight in them change. The weapons change. On some level change is a constant.

Yes, but we were talking about the reasons for war. (or at least I was). People seem to keep coming up with the same excuses. Politics, money, ideology, etc.

 

[SimonSays]

War is very profitable. Even those fought for alleged ideological reasons usually have some hidden greedy motivation in there.

War changes people, for bad and good. It’s like the thoughts leaders must have to wage it reveal how much they believe it is ok to do so. If you use violence to create change, you are still perpetuating violence. How lost, corrupted, how much they have forgotten who they are and what we are. That has to change eventually if we are going to truly become what we are capable of becoming. Or we destroy ourselves which would be the ultimate change for humanity.
