THoughts on War

Peace will never truly be attained due to impermanence and coveting. People seek things to hold onto because we die. As we journey threw life we apply value to objects. The more the object lets you forget about death the more value the object. Therefore we seek things to deal with the fact that we are not immortal but die. Second, people covet the things other have because they are lost in ignorance. They are not able to self manifest their destiny, (regardless if it is a cook that makes a average cheese omelette or the Olympic athlete that wins the bronze medal), and need to be told what to do or they take from those that have manifested their desire in the real world. War occurs when those that "have" and those that "have not" fight over the goods that have become valuable because of impermanence. The first thing needed to ensure peace would be food, clothing, and shelter for all. Once again, problems will occur due to ignorance, those with a small house, will want a larger house. Those with a cheap car will want a luxury car and so on and so on. (here is where you develop a belief system to encourages people to share and not be greedy, by those that "have" to deter those that "have not.") Thus we engage in social contracts in order to prevent war. I had more detailed stuff to type but realized no one really cares.
