As absurd and stupid as humans killing one another for profit and gain in a world that in the ultimate expanse of the universe means nothing. Think of all the poor people who have laid down their lives for thousands of years for us to keep on fighting and killing one another over the same issues.
This represents what humans are truly capable of when we set aside our differences and work cohesively for a common goal. Now imagine that goal was to unite all peoples in a way we could all respect one another's feelings and beliefs.
Now imagine how much good we could truly do for not just every human but, our own planet and every species that lives on it without needing to place our efforts on something like war. The resources that would be freed up would be astronomical numbers and not just in money either.
Just to be clear here, I wish no ill will or disrespect to anyone here that has family enlisted or lost loved ones either. I am grateful for the freedom of speech I have right now due to those people doing the amazing job that frankly, I would not be capable of doing. I just wanted to say that we as a species can be so truly amazing when we work together.
The above sentiments were also of a similar view of Carl Sagan to which he wrote as much in his Pale Blue Dot speech.
There's nothing here!
