Nuclear weapons can silence armies, of course. And it makes many think they are safe.

@SatanBurger It is a description that fits globally.

A lot of people pretend to have control because admitting otherwise implies having to process the related fear.

More than that, distractions are everywhere, easy to access and intentionally sought out.

We can do plenty to decrease this.

We.

I, you, they.

Opting for helplessness under the naturalistic argument that humans have always had this or that is mere defeatism. It is also based on unrealistic deterministic perception. Different humans behaved differently.

Humans have outgrown plenty of their behaviours across history, even when they were largely dominant across different cultures.

Some of these changes come about naturally. And some of them are the results of drastic social movements, intentional hard work

We work on ourselves. Question ourselves.

Don't support people who support war.

At least don't support their support of war.

Or the support of indiscriminate retaliation towards war. It is essentially the same.

Don't shelter them from accountability and sell them your voice instead of investing it in the healing journeys of those who need it most. Prevention.

Reach out, connect, love, empathize, help, educate, push for change both social and political and at the very root of every civilization; the youth.

Plenty of simple answers to a complex problem. But not simple enough for most people to implement them in their lives because it starts with a recognition and answering the question " how am I personally contributing to this? Me? How do I decrease it?"

It starts from there.
