RE: Falling bombs and the rise of a nation - Six: Drawing lines and pulling back

Well your linked post was bloody impressive and powerful mate. I don’t really know what else to say, you’re right so many men from all around the world died fighting for their rulers and ‘country’ and it’s nearly impossible for us to really comprehend that today. Hopefully if enough people remember their sacrifices we may one day not repeat the actions as a society which led to these men having to give their all in the first place.

Thank you mate, I appreciate you saying so.

Humans have short memories when it comes to learning from the past, or maybe we're all just stupid. Maybe someday we'll learn though huh?

Realistically I feel that our world will always be a conflicted one and that we’re doomed to repeat our mistakes. But it’s the hope in things being better one day which keeps us going, that and I think all people fundamentally know right and wrong and make a choice of which to favour.

As long as greed, ego and hubris are part of the human make-up then yes, our world will continue to be conflicted. Of course, as you say, all, (or most), people know right from wrong but add in those other three elements above and common sense seems to fly out the window.
