Haven't they yet realized that these weapons of which they are so proud are MEANT to KILL OTHER HUMANS? Why are we so distrustful of each other? Why do we HATE each other so much that we spend hundreds of billions of dollars every year to create and maintain ever more of these hateful inventions?
Why can't these governments see that there are so many other extinction dangers that we need to address? Why are they creating even more of them? How can any of them be so PROUD of their own destructive powers? They should, instead, be deeply ASHAMED of themselves for always thinking of ways to kill millions of people with the least effort in the quickest time. This is nothing of which anyone should be proud.
We maintain national military forces for the specific mission of killing thousands and millions of other humans. I don't care how they want to dress it up (patriotism, freedom, etc.)...it is still the MURDER of millions of humans; of humans they don't even know!
Supposedly, we are the most intelligent species ever to walk this planet. Why then aren't we using this intelligence to find ways of living peacefully together...of solving common dangers to the human race? Why are we using this "intelligence" to kill other humans? And for such stupid, stupid reasons: skin color, religion, language, politics, jealousy, greed, ignorance, apathy, arrogance, conceit.
Maybe the Human Race deserves to be the next major species to go extinct. We are certainly trying our best to make sure it happens. It seems we don't want to wait for an asteroid or a comet to hit us...or for the sun to finally die out...or for other natural occurrences to annihilate us. It certainly seems that we want the honor for ourselves. WE want to be the ones to eradicate the human race.
All peace talks between nations never work because each side goes into it with distrust and dislike or even hatred for the other side. So it doesn't matter what anyone says at these talks, no one will agree to anything. These people are playing the "My penis is larger than yours" game. Each side wants to be the Victor; which means someone has to be the Loser. These king-of-the-mountain games never work. That's why Peace Talks never work. The people setting up and attending these Talks already have their minds made up before the Talks are even scheduled. They put on a good show for the press and the public and their respective countries but it's ALL TALK and NO HONOR or ACTION. Each member of the Peace Talks knows before they even leave their countries that they will not agree to anything the other side has to offer.
Sometimes (more often lately) I am so ashamed of being human. It seems, judging from the history of every nation in the world, that as soon as humans realized they could think, the first thing they wanted to do was to kill other humans. We've been doing that ever since then.
I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THE HUMAN RACE HAS THE INTELLIGENCE NOR THE DESIRE TO STOP KILLING HUMANS. We'll probably keep trying (bio-terrorism, nuclear terrorism, economic terrorism, techno-terrorism) until we succeed. No nation is exempt from this utter stupidity. Every government with its own military fosters this stupidity. Call it National Defense, Patriotism, or whatever pretty-sounding words you want to use...it's still the ugly act of the murder of millions of humans.
Our human history shows that there has NEVER BEEN a government who sincerely desired or desires peace or who had the Courage to fight for peace without fighting a war, without killing anyone. Our human mentality and past performances have proven that time and again all the way back to when we began to walk on two feet and began "using" our brain.
Will we ever learn to truly achieve Peace without killing anyone? To have Peace only after killing millions is not truly Peace. It's just the Intermission Between Wars. Humans are Warmongers. True, there is a very small percentage of humans who want Peace. But even they agree that wars must be fought to get Peace. Isn't that the Ultimate Oxymoron?
In the Grand Scheme of All Things, the human lifespan (as individuals and as a species) is so very short-lived. Why do we spend any of that precious time trying to shorten it even more?
...and isn't that a crying shame?!
