Since the beginning of time, humans always had a sense of what war was. ... War is something nobody can justify.
People who would try to justify the existence of war are cruel, inconsiderate people. If they actually experienced the dread of war, their minds would change. I understand that the economy rises in times of war but it is immoral and destructive. War destroys what we’ve worked so hard for and the future of our own children. Artworks made in times of war reflect its dark, gruesome nature. ... War is pointless, therefore that is not the reason we are here. ... If A= Killing people, B= Bad and C= War, then the statement is, “If Killing people is Bad and War is Killing people, therefore War is Bad.”
