why do some of humanity fight? & yet why do others want complete peace?

Question

then there are ones, like me, who are caught in between it all.
fighting is common nature, but when at the human level, the anger seems something more.
wanting peace is an almost unnatual occrance, yet so many people struggle thier whole lives to try & make a difference.
what about when you are in the midst of conflict & you only want peace, yet at other times, you feel so much rage that you want to start the conflict yourself.

how can all this coexist in this ever changing wold?

Answer 1

TRUST. Americans do not trust even those whom are in a coalition with us, and other countries are the same; I suppose. Everyone has their own objectives. We leach off of each-other in symbiotic relationships in order to suck another dry collectively. Sometimes it seems, to me, that there is only one problem with the humans; religion. Other times I realize that it (religion) is only a tool used by those in power to gain more power. So I obviously cannot blame the tools that humans use to justify war, any more than I can blame a gun, or knife of murder. The blame lay completely with humans, or at least human nature. Try looking at us as beasts, barely out of the jungle. We use tools to make what we desire. Desire meat, use a spear, gun, or something to kill. Desire shelter, use hammer and nails to build a house. Desire control over other people, use religion, food, money, etc.
Anyway, you get the picture; use tools, fulfill desires.

Answer 2

yes, there is good and evil apparently in this world. The conflict between the two is an eternal struggle, that all mankind will experience until the good wins out. It appears as the struggle progress and good seems to be rising to the top the worse the picture or struggle becomes, and it will fight bitterly until the end, but good will win out.

Your inner struggle with wanting no conflict is because you understand the nature of humanity, That even though there or times of peace, (defined as lack of battles, wars, evil) it is only for a time, once again, a struggle or conflict will develop some where and another time. And it angers the inner self so much that you want to strike out at someone or thing to make them see clearly that all that is wrong.

It will come to pass one day, when man will not war against man, but not until all the evil has come to the surface to be destroyed.

Answer 3

Whether we exude peace or conflict is an outward expression of what lies within the individual. Most of those who struggle with much inner turmoil desire peace but outwardly they fight because they don't yet feel at peace on the inside. The fight comes as a need for control. The peace is found when emotions are controlled by the mind and the reason of light shines through to create a peaceful heart which understands humanity's struggles to climb higher and higher.

Answer 4

There are people who think war is never warranted. That's not so. War is warranted on occassion. For instance, one nation attacks another, you must defend yourself. Terrorists attack, and you must defend. Same with the home. If a man breaks into a home, a father is going to defend his children, violently if need be. You can wish for peace and hate conflict all you want, but sometimes conflict just doesn't work. I mean, at 2:00 a.m., you have three kids, they're in bed, some strange man with a gun comes busting through your door. Are you going to offer him milk and cookies while he steals your valuables and holds a gun in the direction of your children?

Those who want peace at all cost don't truly want peace at all cost. It's a lot easier to say that, and make yourself look all high and mighty, than it is to follow through with it when someone's life is on the line.

Now, for the second part of the question: people tend to want to do something, to see battle, to sense it for some reason. But when they're there, they realize it's not pretty, it's not like in the movies. It's real. It's not like it was when they were kids, playing war in the back yard. This time, your life is on the line. At that moment, you're longing for the backyard, where you were safe.

That goes for all kinds of fighting, though, not just war or violence. Companies competing, we want it to be peaceful, but it's not, and most want out because it's not as clean as they'd always imagined.

Answer 5

Their is always going to be differences in this hectic world. Some people are always going to fight and others will only want peace. Obviously we aren't all going to agree with both or the world would be the same. Peace is a much better choice than anger but we aren't perfect and we're always going to have anger it's apart of our emotions. So yes it is ok to feel angry at times but the need for physical contact is not always the answer. If the other person hurts you I believe you should defend yourself but if their just throwing words at you just let it roll off your shoulders.

Answer 6

The fact is that humans are animals with the ability to reason and judge. If a human does not use these tools to resolve the conflicts within the soul, then that human will externalize those conflicts. Feelings, such as anger, fear and, anxiety, usually stem from a lack of knowledge or understanding. THose who do not think for themselves usually find themselves in deep conflictual situations.

Answer 7

weird thing is that people want peace but will do nothing about it... all they do is say o my lordi... why does god wish such terrible things upon us? when really it isnt even his fault to begin with.. you know? people are just very arrigent and do not want to do any thing for a better cause nowadays...
and the reason people fight is because of each others faults like the war in Iraq right now... they are fighting over nothing right now.. the reason that people were sent over there in the first place was to capture all the people who were activist in 9/11 and after that was done they (bush) had to be *super duper smart* and find something else that was wrong with the country like their government... its not like ours we need to change it... but who knows people fight for no reason and sometimes everythings just taken to far and then people get mad over it... so then people think that violence is the answer... WELL ITS NOT!!!!!!! people need to come to the conclusion that things will only change if you help new things come about

Answer 8

Fighting is something like this:
You're my enemy, I'm responsible, you're accountable, I'm right and I can't teach you the truth. Violence is the only solution. You threaten my life.

Peace isn't just a lackadaisical field-trip to the country side.

You have to "fight" for non-violence as well. Which is not to believe in the constructs we put on people, to open ourselves up. It's not easy when Missles are dropping on your town. It's not even possible unless people can "fight" through our fabrication and mistreatment of the "other".

Blaming someone who can't see it is to make them "evil". And then you end up fighting demons instead of what's really happening, you're fighting over ideas that you got attached to and can't give up. Because, you chose to rest on them as comfortable objects. Or, "you" resigned. The violent confrontation is a running away from the fight.

Answer 9

About 4 million years ago, there were 4 separate mutations (certain jaw muscles) that gave us the ability to create language. This cause the meek amoung us to join forces and either kill the bullies or drive them out. So we essentially have two types of genetic survivors, those who can cohabitate and cooperate, and those who can roam and dominate and spread their genes. Nature doesn't look for the best solution, it takes any solution.

Answer 10

Funny you should ask that some people feel they have to fight to get compleate peace. they feel if you do things the way they want you to do things then we will all have peace. now this is true but people all over the world have different ideas of what the right thing to do is and so on and so forth. i think we will never have complete peace until we have zero people.
