is it false that war is caused by people's hearts? that wars will stop with educating people in nonviolence?

Question

everyone will agree that taking 90% of income off 90% of people will cause violence - money is a joker good, good for almost all goods, including all necessities - therefore the theft of it is the greatest injury - causing the greatest [righteous] anger and resentment - we have worse injustice than this - therefore everyone will have to agree that the injustice is the cause of the violence , and therfore that only removing the real cause will remove the violence

violence is not caused by human nature: proof: injustice and violence have escalated for 1000s of years - therefore violence was at one time much less - but human nature has not changed - if human nature has not changed and violence has changed, then clearly human nature is not the cause

can anyone appreciate this logic, ie, take on board this logic, or will people illogically continue to go on believing that human nature is the cause of wars?

happiness is totally dependent on realisticness

Answer 1

Wars are fought so that a few will profit, while the rest foot the bill.

Answer 2

Wars are not created by any businessman. It is certainly created by the power hungry polititians and the power crazed religions,
War is not between the poor in a country and the rich in that country Wars are waged between the rich of one country and the rich of another, were the poor of both countries are fed into the war machine like cannon fodder
Wake up man wars or the war machinery never evened out the differences between the rich and the poor but rather worsened it and the richest man never consumed much more than the average man but merely paid through the nose for the same merchandise packaged and presented to look exclusive and rare by some smart conman!!!
The problems normally associated with capitalism are not in anyway connected to capitalism per-se.
Capitalism merely advocates the use of money as a means of exchange
It also advocates that something belonging to you cannot be taken without your consent, and that no force can be used to get that consent by either the state or another individual
Capitalism is not a political system - the political system is democracy
Is communism an alternative to democracy? where the Party and the intellectuals decide - instead of the stupid masses.
Capitalism in its pure form does not recognize any kinds of discrimination based on sex, religion,regioon, or laguage, the only fare of exchange recognised by capitalism is mutual consent
Most of the evils associated conveniently with capitalism has their roots in the dilution of capitalism with
fuedelistic
fascist
religious
regionalistic
socialistic or
communist principles

Answer 3

'Abdu'l-Baha, son of the prophet-founder of the Baha'i Faith says all man-made and natural calamities are caused by the collective thought of man.

He says the most powerful thing there is, is the mind--thought.

To me, that means each of us should make a practice of monitoring (eaves-dropping) on our own thoughts, as much as possible, to replace all of our negative thoughts with their opposite positive thoughts. This improves our individual, personal lives, as well as the condition of the world. He said that peace will come with the spiritualization of man.

He said that when we spiritualize, the heat radiating from collective loving thoughts will melt the polar caps which will irrigate the deserts, turning the whole world into a flower garden.

He also said that world peace is directly related to the emancipation of women (this, from a Middle Eastern,Persian, male).

My personal thoughts on this are: when the women of the world have equal opportunities and rights, under the law, with men, she will not go through the blood and pain of giving birth to a baby, go through the trials of traibulations involved in raising that baby to adulthood, only to send it, at the age of 18, to the other side of the planet to kill and be killed. I think women will join the Crossed-Leg Society (yes--there is such a society--before doing that, once she has equal opportunities and rights as men. Then, we shall see peace on the planet.

Another thought. Peace will never be brought about by world leaders--there's nothing in it for them. Love cannot be legislated from the top down. It has to be a grassroots thing. Individual, personal, heart-to-heart. Laws don't change hearts--God does.

Answer 4

Why do you need a zippy clean answer for such a broad question? What you should have asked, if you truly wanted an answer, is, "What is the cause of war?". But here's the thing, you don't really want an answer. What you and people like you want to do is open some hoity toity holier than thou discussion about an emperical answer to a question that can't possibly have one. Face it there is no neat and tidy answer for this subject and your answer isn't even close to explain the root cause of war.
And if you want to discuss a subject like this go into a damn chat room PLEASE.

Answer 5

War is caused by interpretation of religion

Answer 6

You will never have World Peace as long as you have religion.
