The War for Wars

War is a never a good thing however when you fight for whats right or what you believe in it is more easily rationalized. So instead of war we should try to make a peaceful solution. Like when two opposing forces believe in two completely opposite things you should try to resolve it peacefully. If a peaceful solution is out of the question then you should stand up for what you believe in. You should not however try to start a war to make people believe in what you believe in, but instead try to teach them and if they don't wish to learn then let them be. I would go to war for things that I feel strongly about and to protect those that mean a lot to me. War is not always the solution, sometimes you can compromise with people. For instance if a group of people wanted some land for the resources and you wanted it as well the you could divide up the land and share it equally and avoid conflict all together. Sometimes the world isn't so simple though so it takes critical thinking to help resolve conflicts peacefully and without war. So we should all try to avoid war if possible, but still defend our rights as human beings. Also as bystanders in war we should try to look through the eyes of BOTH parties before we choose a side instead of hearing one side of the story and making a decision based on that.
