I'm not really a big fan of the idea of war.
A bunch of people killing each other because of previous killings or political disagreements or other things that are way too complex for my tiny brain to comprehend doesn't make sense to me.
When it comes to the whole Syrian war, I feel a bit mixed, though. See, I'm a simple girl. I like to have simple solutions for things. If there was a way to just go over there, help all the people that need help, and instantly fix the country to make everyone get along and work together, I'd say we should just do that. But, sadly, it's never that simple. And I'm sure our involvement has all kinds of ulterior motives to it that are not completely altruistic. So, in terms of justness, I don't think we're justified in going over there.
And man, I know this is going to sound really naive and silly, but I really wish everyone could just get along. But people are people, and even if there were only two people left on Earth, they probably wouldn't get along.
I agree, the idea of war is overwhelming. I want to just be able to say "war is bad and unnecessary," but from what I have read, there are already tons of people suffering regardless of the war. So, I guess war helps, but I don't know enough about this to give a confident opinion on war. I do agree that I wish everyone could get along, but it seems impossible.
ReplyDeleteI think we can all agree war is bad and we should avoid it at all costs but to a point war is good. However war as in killing people is something we should avoid but war can cause the best in people to come out. If you look at history some of our greatest technological, medical, and etc. leaps are made because war drives us to compete with one another and without this competition there is no telling where we would be today.
