Enough still unprocessed warring has gone on to last lifetimes.
The violence voyeur is always seeking some new spectacle. A younger generation comes along and asks itself "how would I behave in wartime?" Some seek glory.
Maybe we don't need you to find that out? How would you behave if war were not a goal?
Politicians continually need assurance they'll be able to whip up war fever, and float a lot of trial balloons in that regard, just to see where they stand with the minions.
The minions, for their part, get bamboozled into one war after another, because they don't get the time or space to really study. They repeat the same mistakes, having too little time to learn from mistakes already made.
"Stop the world I want to get off" is the cliche complaint people ridicule, knowing there's no stopping. However, without reflection, life stays shallow and superficial. What would it be like to let generations really learn their own past?
We have enough raw material to last many lifetimes. Do we really need to create more gratuitous karma for ourselves?
Slow down and learn about what has already happened. Wouldn't that be a huge luxury? You could still tour, enjoy those cruise ships, explore museums.
We didn't need you to start new wars. Maybe you did anyway. You might have thought elective wars would get you elected? Is that what your donors told you? Were they paying you to get a war on?
