It's fear that drives war and murder. Fear of being wrong, fear of being made a fool and fear of getting into trouble. As a wise little green man said, fear leads to anger.
The US "fights" terrorists and people like Bin Laden because they are scared of looking like idiots. They are scared of being randomly bombed, and they fear their "liberties will be destroyed" or whatever. It's not a suprise though. Over the last few decades the western machine has run on fear: fear in government, on the streets, in the advertisements, in schools, everywhere.
Fighting has nothing to do with being right. It's purely because certain factions are scared of being wrong, so they fight back with all of their fear and hatred. |
I agree you can be right by your own belief to your self and dont fight at all, we are the one who decide what is right for us.
In my personal view fear is the effect while the conflict of beliefs is the cause.
The clash of two sides who has been strongly conditioned by certain belief, they want other people to see the world the way they want to see it too.
Both of them might be right or not but when I am thinking if we do it this way peace cannot be achieve. Time will come that the other side(whatever it is) will gain enough force and oppurtunity to prove that they are right and the never ending soft opera continue.
In my personal view fighting is related to prove to be right or sometimes the word right use in another term like "who's the best the strongest?" yes fear can be included to the reason why someone join the fight or war because they dont want the bad guys. And the good guys must prevail the thing is how can you we be sure that we are in the good side or in the bad side.
