When all the reasonable arguments in the dispute have been exhausted and nothing is left to argue about, except, feeling your own powerlessness, punching the enemy in the teeth – it does not matter which of us is right and which is wrong. We have already grown up and do not fighting among ourselves every minute, like children. We are looking for other ways to settle a dispute. We understand that a feud won’t bring any good.
When reaching a point of no return, we are starting a war, but while we still have a choice, we want an agreement. In fact, everyone understands that if he gets a gun and tries to ambush his neighbor then his neighbor becomes armed and none of us can get out of the house. Gradually mankind becomes wise enough to understand that. There was a time when everyone lived in their fortresses, and was afraid to go outside. It was a risky adventure – to leave their homes and go somewhere else. Since then people have grown wiser.
The people of Israel have always had very strict and reasonable laws that have been adopted by all. Otherwise a man got killed, and he knew that he had no choice – he must comply with the law. But what about countries where there was no law before medieval times and even later? There was a complete lawlessness and every man did what he pleased. Robbers and thieves ruled in the streets and residents hid in their homes. Did you know that castles were built in medieval times like fortresses?
Therefore, we must understand that either we are going to live by the laws of the wild egoistic desires, or we reach the state when we are no longer able to accept egoism and will be obliged to run away from it. The former leads us on a path where we will have to repeat inside ourselves all the way that mankind already made being pulled by its selfishness. That would continue until we can no longer accept egoism.
Now mankind is getting closer to this state where egoism can’t be tolerated anymore and must be dumped. Very soon, this matter will become obvious. Humanity will understand that it has no choice. This is called the moment of truth. How can we speed up the process, so as not to wait until the «children» become wiser and realize that the selfish way – is evil? You should explain to them that there is another life. Today those children are afraid to start a fight. Indeed, mankind holds such a large amount of deadly weapons, that everyone is scared. Everyone knows that no one will be saved, and certainly no one can win. Everyone has made a calculation and understands that in the case of war countries turn into ashes – so what can we win on such a path?
What would we fight for – ideas? Who cares about ideas nowadays, when everyone worries only for his wallet. Is it not clear what is going on? There is no politician, who has not been involved in a judicial investigation over how much did he stole or how many he has raped. Forget about an ideology …
Therefore, everyone understands that starting a war does not make sense. However, the problem is that egoism is our nature, which is above us, and it makes us all into whatever it wants. We are afraid that , all of a sudden, we could possess such inducements and lose our mind and then someone clicks on the button and everything would blow up.
Therefore, the rulers are also afraid of this, and really do not know how to manage – how to control themselves, so as not to lose their minds.
