Just got to thinking about why it is human beings have always fought and killed on behalf of principles we hold above our own personal existence Millions of men and women have died trying to protect themselves and protect others from harm.
 
Although it may seem it sometimes, our instincts are not geared towards destroying oppsition in a pseudo-Darwinian struggle to dominate each other, but rather we fight so that others will not have to. At the very core of our actions, I'd argue that in wars we kill and die not out of revenge or anger, but in a quest for peace.
 
It's as though there's an inevitable equilibrium that mankind will eventually reach, where the happiness of all comes from knowing that fighting will only be a regressive step backwards.
