Thoughts About the War


The war roots are in the collective aggressiveness and malice and the wish to dominate over the others. It is not either normal or good to live in hostility, wars, confrontations, either individually, or generally; or to ruin, destroy life and material goods - as though patriotism were giving sanctity to violence against the others.

For small countries in the world politics, it is idealistic to seek for the justice and much wiser to know to join the stronger and more powerful. The mistakes are too dear.

Ideologies and national flags of ruling parties are not decisive, but whether their aim is the work and well-being of citizens.

In the last century, almost a dozen of authorities and countries replaced each other in this small country. In these changes, common people were happy if they stayed alive with their dearest relatives, and did not get poor totally. Those changes often bore great pain and chaos in the society, and one wonders when well-being and humanism will become our mutual aim.

In all periods of human history, there are ideas, in which people believe as though they were guarantees of prosperity, regardless the fact whether they can really bring prosperity. With the ideas like guiding ideas, many lives and a lot of time, work and property were sacrificed.

It is not possible to look back and go forward. People must disown the wish for revenge for the sake of future and better living.

Wars are not suitable for a common person at all, because they are victims most often and affected by the inevitable post-war crisis. They are impoverished in every way. The most prosperous countries are those that turned to work and knowledge, and not to wars and revolutions, for the simple reason - they have not destructed and destroyed all that they have created for centuries, but they have built and provided the best living conditions for their citizens, and they have reached the consciousness, according which they behave reasonably and humanely not only toward people and material goods, but they also protect nature.

It is not crucial whether the wars will be fought with or without aviation, atomic weapons..., but why they are fought at all.

To be aggressive does not mean to be immune to pain. We are all fragile. Wars destroy us spiritually in the most delicate and finest essence.

It is the question of frankness and well-intentionedness if someone acts idealistically when the idealism is a worse option, if the idealism can ever be accepted as a solution. On the pretext of seeking for justice, one can be brought to the worst poverty and suffering. The enemies' conception might also be right that: to propagate idealistic aims like the ideal justice, honesty, patriotism, which are not any real, good and possible solutions, although, at first sight, they seem correctly; and that way, we choose the worse out of two solutions.

Crusaders with bright armors and the warriors of the half-moon, the skillful Oriental fighters, the ideal of the perfect warrior. Their flags flutter, they have fought wars for centuries, echo of their shouts and cries can be heard now, too. Nations in the struggle for supremacy... Roosters with bright feathers and tails in the wind, in their kingdoms fenced with the need for dominance and low consciousness.

During the war, a man does not see a man in another man, but eternal enemy and a threat for life, although they have recently worked and lived similarly and had no direct motif to confront each other in any way, and, if they survive the war, they will live the same way, only with revived animosities.

Peoples of small populations with the zeal of their patriotism are not and do not want to be aware that, about their destiny, they neither can, nor they really decide themselves. The result of a war, both the territory and the status of small countries in the world, is usually and actually the will and merit of the stronger and more powerful nations; and during the wars, small peoples were only used to hold the attention of the former enemy, or like a barrier, or like striking fist and, all in all, much tragically.

National and religious problems cannot be truly and justly solved regionally. Absurdly said: everyone is right with their striving and views, and no one is right. Until all state borders are erased, and peoples' needs are solved justly and equally; and before everybody, there are the same conditions and perspectives and responsibilities for life and realization, education,... and toward everyone, there is showed equal and appropriate care, there will be no positive direction of individual energy, and, thus, no peace in the world. Until there are true reasons that someone feels endangered for their survival, and until the problem is solved in the world, there will also be reasons for conflicts.

Cultural, religious and lingual differences are not causes of conflicts and intolerance, but the unsolved economic problems, unjust division of the land of those, who have different cultures, religions and languages. Therefore, there is no reason to underestimate anyone's religion, culture or language and nation.

The responsibility of a common man for their own destiny is in acting against of dominance in politics. We even vote for those, who will take us into poverty and catastrophe; all of that is under the flag of patriotism and the bright historical national myths.

War heroes and often saints of one nation are the worst evil for the enemy nation.

With partial and fanatical politics and approach to anything, the truth and quality cannot be reached.

Wise and moral leaders do not accept fatal solutions for their nations.
