Do you believe humans are naturally destructive?

Isn't the world itself naturally destructive.
The human element is not an alien one. We are as natural as the air we breathe and the water we drink. So too are our actions.
War is good when it is fought by warriors; it is bad when it is fought by soldiers.

War does change. We've only had the power to wipe out every life form on this planet for about 60 years. That's not very long in the scheme of things. I just hope we're smart enough to keep from doing it.
Are humans destructive? I don't know about destructive, but we're not all that bright. War is how we solve our disputes, and in 6,000 years of recorded history we still have yet to find a more effective way. We're not destructive, we're just primitive, like a child who doesn't know any better.

Its true. War doesn't change, it remains the same; a conflict between two or more forces that disagree. Military tacticians and man have changed war into what it is now. I believe that all things, including nature, are "naturally destructive" as you say.

If you think about it, not really. War doesn't change, only the method. And no humans are not naturally destructive. They are naturally greedy.

Many people think that human groups are always at war with
one another. The Vedas and Puranas say that in Krita Yuga,
there were no wars, and people lived in peace and harmony.
The major wars in Treta Yuga and Dwapara Yuga took place
to restore peace for peace loving people. This present one
is Kali Yuga - the age of darkness.
India was the land of Dharma Yuddham. It has got very
strict rules of its own, not like those which are happening
else whare due to the age of darkness.

May I suggest avoiding stereotyping an entire species for the acts of some. Violent acts receive more publicity than genereous ones, creating the appearance of a violent species in general. However, every living being is subject to its own accumulation of experiences, which dictates it´s will for or against violence.

I think so but we don't show it until we are in trouble or angry or are given a chance.
