Historically, the evolution of humanity has always involved wars, which are in a way part of the human condition. But what is the basis of war? What impact does it have? All over the world there are regions that are experiencing major conflicts, such as for the independence of their people, for territories and also for religious reasons.
Conflicts between peoples generate a lot of suffering, because political, religious or economic interests are not always shared by a people, humanity will always suffer from these conflicts. Wars have a great responsibility for the deaths of so many people, whether they are involved in the war or not. And another very important factor is the significant change that occurs in the lives of those who have survived the conflict. People have had to flee their countries in order to survive, adopting another country as their new home, these people are called immigrants, but what they really want is to continue living in their country, so their lives have also been changed.
There is rarely a limit to a war, and in the face of these conflicts many horrors occur throughout humanity. In a conflict of war everyone thinks they are right and this impasse only generates suffering for the peoples, someone once said "the first victim in a conflict is the truth", and it will certainly always lead to destruction. Power is the key that opens the gates of destruction, because even those who win a war lose a lot. There is no reason to explain the many deaths that will be counted at the end of a war.
Families suffer from the loss of their loved ones and also from the destruction of their homes, all because of the attitudes of those who take the lead in conflicts. Our environment is also very affected, because a drastic result of wars that is little talked about is the spread of toxic or radioactive materials that are released into the water and onto the land, drastically contaminating the soil, as they are extremely harmful.
As long as there is belligerence, there will be no peace.
