Humans protect their separateness to the death. Isn't that the reason for war? We/us/ours must survive. They/them/theirs must die?

Are YOU a separateness fan or a togetherness supporter? How are things going?

    No much more complex than that.  People want to feel they are superior to others - that they are better - and that is more likely why they resort to war.  Outside of the fact they need the natural resources that war can bring them.  No I just want to be myself.  Like many people. Which is a reason many people did not vote for Clinton.  She was always trying to "re-educate" people like in a totalitarian govt,  not accepting people's beliefs, and the liberals demonize positive things I grew up with like hard work and sacrifice, success, etc. while sacralizing victimization, laziness, and dependency. 

    I believe in live and let live as long as there is law and order.

    No, you have it backwards. Your argument is like saying that the cause of rape is that some people don't want to have sex.

    It is those that desire togetherness but have no respect for the free will of those who would like to remain independent, that are the source of human conflict.

    Maintaining independence from inferior cultures and ideologies is the only way any real togetherness can be achieved. This post was edited by Zeitgeist at October 22, 2017 9:53 AM MDT

    The reasons for war are POWER and MONEY, HEAVY on the money side of the equation.

    "What is the source of the wars and fights among you? Do they not originate from your fleshly desires that carry on a conflict within you? You desire, and yet you do not have. You go on murdering and coveting, and yet you are not able to obtain. You go on fighting and waging war..." "This is not the wisdom that comes down from above; it is earthly, animalistic, demonic." (James 4:1,2; 3:15)
