Why War? Jeremy Sande

If I had to pick between war being inevitable or not, I would have to say it is inevitable. But to me, it is much more than just a simple yes or no question. You have to answer a couple of questions before making a final decision. “What causes war?” In my mind the short answer would be conflicts between people whether it be based on morals, ideas, or anything else. “What purpose does war serve?” There are many hypotheses on this topic, each one given by a different person. The only thing I have found universal among all of them is that war causes change. Whether or not this is good is based on the individual. “What will happen if war stops?” Through my experiences, I have found that most people would say something along the lines of a “The world would be a better place.” For me I believe that if war was eradicated the violence would be placed somewhere else thus solving nothing. The final questions references Why War? ”Is war a bad thing?” This is a question I can't find an answer to. The logic of it conflicts with my morals.

    After all of these questions, to me war may be eradicated but conflict is constant within the limits of humanity.
