During my sixty-plus years on earth, I’ve witnessed humanity’s repeated horrors, and I’ve become as cynical about humanity as I have about peace in the Middle East.

I do believe in the “hope” of someone, possibly a woman, to solve these warring problems by prioritizing solutions to peace above all else. I believe in a woman finding a solution based on the historical fact of men being responsible for so many deaths. Solution: There would be no drafting of citizens to fight patriotic wars, causing the deaths of millions.

As a side note, I also believe in a dystopian solution in which two or more warring entities who cannot find solutions through mediation or arbitration must fight MMA-style to their deaths for failing to compromise during both mediation and arbitration.

The historical hypocritical irony is that men / leaders who sustain wars are recycling the Ancestral Vengeance in a region where three organized religions claim ancestral beginnings, fueling young people in the same regions or elsewhere around our world to conjure ideas of vengeance for the cycle to continue.

The current state of human evolution, as it pertains to warfare, is a stark reminder revealing male leaders’ refusal to learn from history and refusing to embrace forgiveness or prioritize peace above all else and at all costs.

When wars of vengeance increase lands with armament sellers profiting, peaceful solutions are disregarded and never considered. The idea / theory of learning to share and get along, apparently applies to parents teaching their children.
