War

I have juxtaposed opinions about war. I see that on one hand, without a natural predator Humans have evolved to predate each other. On the other hand is see war as barbaric, primitive and wasteful leading me to wonder if the rational side of my thinking is separate from my primitive human instincts that remain in my genetics. Codes of genes dating back to pre-homo sapiens. Conflict of the evolving mind.

Eg: Opposing governments/gangs/groups/people have a disagreement. The disagreement seems unavoidable and impossible to move forward from. All sides accuse eachother of the worst atrocities and manipulations and back again. All sides have ligitamate and illegitimante reasons to be angry. No side seems willing to sit down and talk with civility or consider establishing lines of communication. The problems are related to peoples lives, money, power struggles and political rivalries and religion. The conflicts have been continuous for many generations, resulting in many deaths and untold destruction and waste. Deep seeded resentment, anger, mistrust and suspicion reside with many people on all sides.

What can be done? How does anyone even begin to attempt to solve a problem of this magnitude? How do you help people to stop living in the past and move on in positive ways?

Let go of hate. Do it because your tired. Tired of the pain, the waste and the struggle. Tired of hate.

Want enlightenment for yourself and for all others.
