Unfortunately, war is and has been a constant companion of humanity. In
my opinion, the absence of war will only mean one thing, humanity as a
whole has become one mindless and single-minded entity. War is a
consequence of conflict and conflict results from a clash of ideas,
thoughts, necessity, etc... As long as humans are capable of independent
thought then conflict is inevitable. This means to have a world without
war is to have mankind thinking alike and in synch with each other,
like a hive of some sort. I think I'd prefer to have the privilege and
freedom to think and decide for myself, even if this makes the world a
dangerous place to some extent. Besides, if we have the capacity to wage
war, then we also have a capacity to wage peace. It's simply a matter
of finding a balance between the two.
