As far as I can tell, the general population has reverted back to barbarianism and "survival" mode every time there is a war. With each war, we jump back (but not quite as far as we did the last time) to the times of the caveman. In this "two steps forward one step back" motion, every man becomes a hunter, and only the fittest (or meanest) survive.
I believe these events are part of what has prevented the immense advancement of the people in the areas of science, humanitarianism, and religion. If we did not put the gears in reverse every 10 years or so, we'd have affordable transportation for everyone, there would be a job for everyone, the world would know how to create food and share the bountiful crops, everyone would be closer in mind and spirit and we would not need the government to tell us what is right and what is wrong. Don't tell me that this is what life will be like in heaven, because I am a thinker and I use logic and evidence, and I don't see evidence for heaven.
Why do we have to be so greedy? Why can't we all just get along? Why can't we respect the life choices of each other? Do we really lead such uneducated lives that the only thing we can talk to each other about is what so-and-so is doing and how we feel about that? From now on (and hopefully I have done this in the past), I will give of myself and what I have to better the family, community and world, I will hold no grudges and I will not judge.
