Wars are waged for many different reasons but one thing always remains the same. The leaders survive and the death toll is highest with the civilians. I saw photos of Syrian children, either dead or dying from what appears to be chemical warfare and I wondered again...what could possibly be worth their little lives?
Seldom is war waged for "good" reasons, but mostly for political or financial gain. Often it's a power struggle where one group seeks to overstep their bounds and claim the property of another. Can any of this be worth the life of one innocent and helpless victim?
I see a world 1000 years in the future where we human beings still haven't learned the value of a human life. I hope I'm wrong but it really doesn't seem we've become much less savage than when we first arrived on this planet.
Just think what we could have accomplished if we hadn't been cursed with that "savage" (selfish, greedy, hateful, power hungry) gene. It would be like heaven on earth.
