othing should merit the actual killing of a person. People have motivations that are based upon their temperaments. This is something no one can control past the age of 12. Human nature is greedy and focused around progression. People are always trying to progress to the next level of something, but are they happier once they get there. Maybe for a few minutes, but then their goals change. However, this new goal is harder to reach, and so the anxiety increases. Humans stress levels are chronically higher than that of animals, simply because of our instinct to worry about things. Through this need to progress people cause conflict, and this conflict can rise to th point where someone gets killed. Once you are dead you are dead...thats the end. No medals or pats on the back; you are dead.
A solution s isolationalism. Each nation has the ability to provide us with our basic needs. We may not be rich, but what I need to tell you is this;
Above the poverty level (roughly 15-20,000 a year), there is NO correlation between money and happiness. Isnt all we are trying to do is be happy. On $20,000 a year, one can live n an apartment with food and family. They are happy. Furthermore, there is a 70% depression rate for people that win a lottery of 1 or more million. And money was supposed to make you happy.
In isolationalism, war does not exist, and massive numbers of people do not die. Massive numbers of people get to feel happy. And what is the purpose of life; to be happy. Nothing else, no eternal glory or any of that propaganda. Just the biochemical endorphine release known as happiness.
Give peace a chance!!!
