The Truth

Why are there wars?
Wouldn’t it make more sense for people who naturally crave people, to live with, not against people?!
Yes and no.
There was a famous study, where five monkey, one at a time, were introduced into a cage – in the middle was a pack of bananas – but each time the monkeys came, they sprayed them with a jet of water so they became afraid to take the bananas – then they introduced a sixth and he of-course went to take the bananas, but they didn’t spray him – how did the other monkeys react? – they beat him up!
In other words, true people love love, but usually it’s a need, not a conviction.
As such, when people feel love, they love in return – this is basically the American way.
But when the same person feels brutalized, offended, they can’t wait to take revenge, which usually doesn’t happen, so they boil with anger inside.
When a person is angry, their primary motive is vengeance, and then a corollary emotion, like the monkeys, is actually jealousy over people who are happy.
