A Prayer For War

Hedge -96 (in your face beeeit'ch)

I sometimes get a bit confused. I see and hear people everywhere talking
|
|
about what's on the news. If you ever stop to listen more carefully to what
|
|
they are discussing, you will eventually find out that it is mostly about
|
|
some war that is going on somewhere. If you listen even more carefully, you
|
|
will hear that they feel war to be the utmost evil an cruel occupation for a
|
|
country. This is where my confusion sets in. Why do they feel this way? Is
|
|
it just the normal politically correct statement, or have they thought it
|
|
over? Why is war considered to be something totally bad and peace/democracy
|
|
something totally beyond criticism? Are these just merely definitions that
|
|
holds no values? I will argue that they are, and point out the things I
|
|
think need to be considered before putting peace before war.
|
|
|
|
There have been wars going on since the dawn of man. From the very beginning,
|
|
there have been fights over territory, water, food or other needful things.
|
|
Even the wise Greeks fought their wars and at the same time they proclaimed
|
|
rationality to be the ideal. All these wars have had something in common.
|
|
They have all survival as a foundation. This may seem somewhat contradictory,
|
|
but let me elaborate. As I said in the very beginning of this paragraph, man
|
|
has been fighting since the beginning. All these fights have concerned
|
|
winning, or taking possession over, things that made survival easier. This
|
|
can easily be understood by everyone. If you get the best food, wells and
|
|
mating partners, chances are that your species, or tribe, will have greater
|
|
success in surviving. As long as there is a chance of winning, and the
|
|
reward will substantially enhance your chance of survival, people will fight.
|
|
|
|
So are these modern wars just some all-out lust for blood, since there isn't
|
|
really any need to think about survival in the world today? I don't think
|
|
they are. I hear scientists talking all the time about how man still holds
|
|
primal urges, like for instance, the will to mate or protect his family. The
|
|
way I see it, we are fighting for the same reasons as the stone age humans,
|
|
but the advantages sought are much less pronounced. Nowadays we like to wrap
|
|
the reasons in packages, economic or perhaps racial, but survival is always
|
|
in the background. 'If we get hold of their oil, then maybe we can make our
|
|
own country flourish.' 'If we kick all these <choose cultural belonging>
|
|
out, then we will be able to feed our own people.' I think that this basic
|
|
instinct has to be taken more seriously than the thought of man being peaceful
|
|
in general. Lure him with a tasty morsel, and heads will roll.
|
|
|
|
Do these modern wars just bring misery and pain? Well, that's the whole
|
|
purpose with fighting, to inflict more damage to the other part than he
|
|
inflicts upon you. This inevitably leads to people dying and suffering. I,
|
|
however, feel that it is to narrow-minded to think only about that side.
|
|
When there is a war, evolution and technical progress take giant leaps. We
|
|
get more inventions of importance during five years of war than during
|
|
twenty non-war years. It is amazing what the fight for survival can make man
|
|
achieve. And, since technical innovations can be used for other things than
|
|
to fight wars with, for example better ways to use existing resources, we
|
|
are actually increasing the potential of surviving when fighting a war. I
|
|
can agree this seems a bit cold and calculating, but a need to crack eggs
|
|
will always exist when making an omelet.
|
|
|
|
There is another side of war which I feel has gotten much less attention
|
|
than it deserves. I am talking about the creativity of the people. During
|
|
peace, people relax. During long periods of non-fighting, they stop to
|
|
think. There is no need to think, you will survive anyway. This leads to a
|
|
population of lazy non-intellectual retards. The only thing that concern
|
|
them is what's on the TV, and if the taxes are being raised (again?). The
|
|
'democratic' peace loving state will make things even worse. Here, the state
|
|
will even take care of things for you, reducing the 'risk' of having to use
|
|
your brain even more. During a war, however, people have to think for
|
|
themselves. If they don't, they will not survive. This will take their minds
|
|
off petty things like the ones discussed above, and down to what really
|
|
matters. Out of this comes the feeling of enjoying life. You fight for
|
|
survival of your nation, and you are still alive, so you enjoy living.
|
|
People who enjoy life, and feel the sensation of being a part of a tribe or
|
|
nation, are capable of creating masterpieces in literature and other
|
|
cultural fields. Look at the cultural history if you don't believe me.
|
|
|
|
No, I think it is time to start considering the advantages of war, not just
|
|
the politically correct: 'Peace is good, war is bad' statements. Lets do
|
|
what serves the public good best, so what if a few people die? For one
|
|
thing, it will eventually stabilize the overpopulation!
|
|
|
|
And I get to play with guns more...
|
|
|
|
|
|
-Raise the flag, we're off to war
|
|
who gives a damn what we are fighting for!
|
|
|
|
-Lets maim and murder, claim and rape
|
|
when we're coming, there's no escape.
