The Life Force is Deadly

Big fish eat little fish. Cats eat mice. This we can accept, the interspecies devouring.


But then, dogs fight over bones and monkeys fight each other to the death. This is done over a lack of consciousness and a perceived lack of resources.

This warring condition is still in full force during the modern era. With human beings.

Since we know the perceived lack of resources ends in coercion and war, it seems to me the way to stop war is to stop the perceived lack of resources.

Since we know we have this predilection, is it not incumbent upon us to limit the conditions that foment war?

At all costs?

It would be so much cheaper and less traumatic if we would insist upon the awareness that resources are not limited. And if resources do become limited, wouldn’t it make sense to decrease the birth rate until a newer, more plentiful resource is discovered?

Or is full blown war, fought over things like salt, oil, land, gold and slave labor the natural condition of a very stupid species?
