When large number of peoples and sometimes whole nations or races are led to adopt basic suppositions and beliefs that differ substantially from others constantly increasing friction is likely to develop between these groups.
Since they have no adequate or accepted means of testing the relative merits of the opposing concepts the heat of emotion generated by the continuing friction may and frequently does lead to warfare.
The tragedy of warfare lie in the fact that it cannot determine the relative merit if the conflicting ideologies and it can only demonstrate the fighting abilities of the participants.
The winner usually learn nothing from such encounters and the looser learn only how to avoid in the future the military errors.
Millions of innocent persons met senseless and untimely deaths and hundreds of years of human effort were wiped out at the passing whim of one leader.
When weapons of mass destruction come into being the situation changes for no civilization and no race can survive the holocaust.
The leaders attempts to justify these mutual acts of mass slaughter in various ways. They perform some truly amazing feats of moral and philosophical gymnastic in their determined efforts to convince themselves and their victims that their tremendously destructive acts of passion brutality and greed are motivated by the highest of ideals and principles.
At least once in every generation each nation finds an excuse to enter into an armed conflict with one or more nations. Each side is determined to subdue or destroy the other , and every device or system which the.mind can conceive and the technology can create is used in some way in the furtherance of this senseless purpose.
These periodic acts of tragic nonsense have been performed almost as a ritual by every race, tribe and nation.
There is no social science on Earth only social arts which cannot progress substantially because they depend on the beliefs and attitudes of many leaders which lead in different directions.
All evidence indicates that the common citizen of the Earth has been ready for peace for some time.
Its leaders seems to be the laggards.
Peace is simply the automatically the automatically resulting by product of complete understanding between man and man, between race and race, between state and state and between man and God.
When such understanding exists there is no need to search or work for peace it exist automatically.
