War

War cannot be a good thing. If you go to war simply to conquer or to shed the blood of your enemies, then war is a bad thing. It is fought because you were selfish and wanted to gain more land, raise your self esteem, or simply to prove that you are the best. However, if you go to war with another county who threatened you or is posing an attack, then war is a better thing, but still not a good thing. The outcome of a war is never good. It might be good for one side, but what about the other side. Men lose their lives because someone couldn't settle a dispute.

I would like to think that there would be a few causes in which I would go to war. If the war was started by the right reasons, I would go. I would go if the people I care about were threatened or in considerable danger. I wouldn't want them to suffer, so I would go to try and stop the suffering. This is always easier said then done, when you know your life isn't on the line, but I would hope that I could put myself in that situation. I would hope that I could put myself in harm's way to save the ones that I love and care about.

I know that wars are fought to try and gain peace, but they shouldn't be fought at all. I don't see why people in general can't put grudges behind them and make a peace treaty. Some people think that they are better then others and that they should be a leader, so they fight for it. Everyone should be honest, fair, and respecting, and if that were so we wouldn't need to have wars.
