I do not believe that, Kazi. You are able to perceive that you did something wrong; that is proof enough for me. If you did not care for others, you would not have those thoughts at all.

Warrior cultures? Yes, they killed with gain for themselves in mind. But also remember that they attacked to preserve their own; they were not selfish like somebody who buys himself thirty Ferraris is selfish, but rather selfish like somebody who has to steal to feed his family. It is not good, but it is honourable. ^_^

People are sheep. This is their great fault, but also their great strength. If we did not follow leaders, then the world would plummet into anarchy. Yes, there are bad leaders and those you mention are certainly good examples of them. But many are good and wise, and make decisions that preserve peace, build a lasting economy, spare the environment and so on. Do not think that the hive mentality of ushumans is exclusively a bad thing. ^_^

hiveminds are always bad in my opinion.
most of the warriors and their families were incredibly wealthy. their wars were fought for greed and glory. two of the three things that motivate me. the only real reason im going to north korea is because i would actually die otherwise, morals are determined by the upbringing in which the person lives, and in time, when society cycles back to warrior culture, they will change to “killing is okay as long as you benefit from it in some way” or “killing is okay as long as you arent killing people from your own tribe/country/group.”
and in any event when people are such sheep that they are suddenly convinced, not through there whole lives, but only in a matter of years, that all the world except for one ethnicity must be killed or enslaved shows a hugely over the top level of sheepness.
more examples-kkk skinheads terrorists peoplewhohatemuslims, peoplewhoopposegaymarriage peoplewhowanttomixreligionandgovernment and the situation in africa wouldnt be nearly as bad if people were decent.

But think of how bad it would have been if people weren’t decent. ^_^

some people are decent, most behave decent out of fear, and some arent afraid.
that fear is usually fear of repercussions, or fear of a punishment in the afterlife. youd be surprised how many people act good because they worry that if they dont they will go to hell.

i was in the IDF,but i never got a chance to.
too bad,could have made a grate story.
some of my friends did… they tell me its not as dramatic as it is in movies

but in the army it’s diffrent… no conciqunce for you actions.
out on the streets its not the same story.
you can go to jail even if it’s self defence if you cant get a good lawyer.
i almost got in a knive fight twice,but it didnt go that far.
… shit happens.

I guess I cannot change your mind, Kazi, because you sure are not going to change mine. ^_^

So I am just going to give you a hug, and then skip off into the horizon while humming “Don’t Worry Be Happy”.
