War

We watch war happen in real time. Cover it. Analyze it. Comment on it. Picture it. Weigh in on it politically, militarily and diplomatically. Make it intensely real. Just a click of the TV remote.
But what we now know about war, we’ve known about war from the beginning of human civilization. It’s driven by power, greed, religion, envy, conquest and arrogance. It benefits the powerful while destroying the lives of the commoner. It reminds us that hate is easier than love and easier to be an enemy than a brother.

For all the wars—justified or not—we are not able to transcend the ways we separate ourselves from one another. We are not able to see ourselves first as human beings.
