I too read much on war and there is indeed a pattern. In the end, we see that war in not inevitable but the choice of humans in power. Flawed humans. Highly flawed humans. Yes, I am saying directly that politicians are more flawed that the everyday person.
Such humans are flawed by their hubris and their desire to dominate. Such humans act outside Nature.
Once we humans recognize that we are not mere observers, but participants in Nature, something begins to shift in our minds. We begin to see that we share the planet with other humans and the millions of species that reside with us.
I often wonder about politicians. I have known some local politicians and aspiring ones who I think have good hearts, are hard working, and truly want to improve lives and protect our earth. I have worked with some and I appreciate the difficulties of their jobs.
But I also know how much money and power ruin people, as fame is known to do. And I see how systems warp their servants.
There was a time I wanted to run for office. But I now see my role quite differently. And I try and put my efforts elsewhere.
