The nature of war.
There is no doubt wether it exists or not. The human uses war to force his will upon another object. The goal is to defeat the enemy, for he will not be able to strike back. In reality it isn't that easy of cause. There are always plenty of reasons for a war - and many different interests related to it. But I intentionally simplify here.

We all know how it is if someone makes you angry and you begin to have hostilely thoughts for this person. If we were able to use whatever is needed to defeat this person, if we had the power in other words: if we were above the law ... what would you do?

Give someone a weapon and .. he will use it?

Is there a 'nature of war'?

Write me what you think.

PS: If you cant see it here are some explanations.
What you see in the muzzle is a landscape (some trees and behnd that a mountain with clouds). Some blood is coming out of the muzzle to represnt result of war.

Great work.

I think the message could be that no matter what happens in a war, no matter how long it lasts and who fights who, there are always survivors. Nature always recovers and maybe we give it far too little credit for the sake of political views.

Those creatures that survive after all, deservice to live.

Thats a great thought overseer! I guess you are right. In the end every war - even if it was crueler than one could possibly imagine - becomes just a certain number in the timeline of history. Maybe we should put it like this: never stop trying. No matter how often we fail. Maybe failure even is the goal.

Thank you for your thoughts.

You're welcome.

Failure is a good goal at times, because only in failure do you learn anything at all!

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.

war.... war will always be the same, and will never be no war... i guess that John Lennon was a great dreamer.. but just that.. a dreamer.. because war never gonna stop, because humans will be always want what other have, always need what others have and will always want to force others to our own ideas.. etc. and doesn't matter how much we try.. there will be more Innocents raged by war.. i don't mean that we have to stop trying... never surrender never stop fighting, but fight for the love ones.. not for a land, or a flag.. as long as there are good people living, there will be evil people living... war it is never gonna stop.. so for me the nature of war, is human nature, some take what they want, and others fight back, its human nature for evil man to make evil upon the others.. and its human nature for the good man to make good upon everyone, that includes fight the evil man, or in a better example, hundreds of mans with guns killing each other, some for the family , others for power, other because the want, or they must, or just because the dont have nothing to live for.

thank you for your interesting thoughts! i totally agree with you that we should never stop trying. it doesn't matter how often we fall, important is that we always stand up again. i also think that there is a need for people who forgive. the circle will continue till someone will stop fighting back. if you start to forgive, your enemy will lose his anger. i wanna point out, that this is not meant in a religious, but in a philosophical way.
