Journal 34: Irony

Why do people fight wars? To satisfy themselves? To take from others? To compete with each other, or to protect yourself? People fight wars for a lot of reasons. People are always eager to get more, own more and take more. If people can stop their eagerness and envy of others, the world will be a peace, safe place without wars. In "There will some soft rains", people are served very well with machines, yet the world was destroyed by a nuclear war. Why did people fight each other even though they are satisfied? This is ironic because the nuclear war occurred even though people live in a our ideal life. People will always want to find more satisfactions when everything is all well. When people's problems are solved, other problems will come out. This is why I believe there is no ideal life if people don't stop their eagerness. People will risk everything, because they believe if they just succeed, it will be a better place, but not every time that the outcome will turn out to be a good one. When bad outcomes happen, wars or other disagreement comes out.
