I type these thoughts in vain before sleep takes me hostage until morning. Perhaps it is overstated at this point. Perhaps it is old, and trite, and insulting, but so is the nature of the problem. Therefore I feel no shame in again pondering the absolute uselessness of war. As I said, I would feel guilty asking such a question if we hadn't so defiantly clung to insane ruin in the face better judgment for so many ages of man. We remain children playing in the shadow of intelligence. Of all the great minds, of all the great civilizations and advancements of the world, none have yet stifled war. It lingers on and grows ever more ruinous and destructive with every dollar stolen from education that goes into it. It is inevitable with ignorance and thrives on intelligence. As it becomes less personal the human loss becomes ever greater. As it becomes more expensive, the cost ever higher. As it becomes safer, so it becomes ever more destructive. Humans must not be accountable for the systems that encompass them. The condition of humanity should trump all. No bomb should threaten a child, and neither should any nation. Everywhere you find war you will find humans. Innocent humans with no hand in the matter of war, save it's repercussions. We must reach a point where the warring among us are forced away from the rest of humanity; to destroy themselves in peace. Where no humanity be annihilated against their will. War is the only thing worth fighting against. No other manifesto, economy, offense, or ideal is worth the loss.
