RE: Humane and inhumane

I don't believe that people are inherently evil. I think it's more the case that they are made so by education, their environment or propaganda.

If that weren't the case, there would be no wars.

I have read that without newspapers there would have been no First World War and without radio there would have been no Second World War. There seems to me to be some truth in that, because how else could people be told: The others are the bad guys, we are the good guys and to defend good we must now do evil. It's always the same game...

You don't believe that people are inherently bad because you don't live in a poor country and you don't experience their badness on a daily basis. I think war is the culmination of that evil. And why wars start, who starts them, and what makes people participate in them is obviously a very complex topic. Because, admit it, it is absurd for a woman to say this: When you want peace, prepare for war. When it is clear that by taking this one, small step, you condemn dozens of countries and thousands of people to death, hunger and ruin. I personally thought that mankind had moved beyond this period, that it had overcome these destructive desires. Alas, it has not.
