> We have to few years on this earth to spend our energies hurting others.
Don't you live in a nation state that uses violence to maintain the order that you've come to enjoy? Here's a harsh dose of reality for ya, suffering is unavoidable... the trick is convincing the worker class that it's easier to just cooperate
I've lived in a lot of places, many of them on the receiving end.
I'm from a western country originally though, sure. Can't think of any wars we've been in during my lifetime that have done me much good. All wars of choice and aggression.
I'm glad I did it though. We have to few years on this earth to spend our energies hurting others.
