It all starts with that. Someone feels superior and then forms a group. It challenges every other group and inevitably leads to conflict. The “superior” group wants to prove its superiority, while others want to prove it wrong.
Or lack of it is something I spend the most time thinking of these days. After every passing day, every movie I watched every book that I read and every game I finished. I have this peculiar mix of feelings: sadness, hope and being a part of something bigger. Like a piece of an unfathomable puzzle.
The vast majority of humans just like life and would like to live peacefully.
I know, because it’s so much more difficult to love someone than to hate. Look how many reasons you need to have to love someone generally – and how easily people find reasons to hate each other.
I don’t think it’s even possible to forget something voluntarily, it would have been such a powerful skill.
We, humans, need to drop the made-up historical/cultural divisions among ourselves and start acting as a whole. I think it’s the only way for us to grow and reach for the stars.
On the other hand – if we continue to wage stupid wars between sexes, races, nations or countries – with ever-evolving instruments of destruction – at some point we’ll lose all we have and get back to “square one”.
Trying many different, random things, scraping things that don’t work eventually, and improving things that work.
I can’t really decide which one I find to be a worse idea lately (in a highly globalized society).
I mean they are both artificial divisions.
It’s really hard to define who is/should be member of each group.
They’re both used to divide people.
Countries are members of many country-groups anyways like UN, NATO, EU etc.
