Greed and ambition, two strong ingredients for conflicts, time to say no to war

Epilogue: The world is becoming a dangerous place to live, where some carry out evil intentions for others using their military or economic power where most are guided by greed and excessive ambition leading the world to live in a state of panic, causing resources to rise in value, migration to increase and the increase in life, not to mention the people directly affected by the incident. Below I write an open letter so that wherever there is war, stop and embrace peace, which is very important for human and economic development.

Since ancient times, wars have started because of greed and ambition for other people's things, starting with wars between tribal chiefs over fertile land for agricultural cultivation and cattle grazing, to wars for the conquest of territories by the settlers who coveted the riches found in these places.

It has always been this way and always will be, and with time the trend will get worse, since many regions are richer than others while others are not, but those that do not have, for example, natural resources such as gas and oil are military powers. while the holders of riches have weakness in this area.

To initiate domination and possible conquest, the great military artillerymen begin using diplomacy to secure contracts for the exploitation of natural resources by providing consumables and miscellaneous goods for the holders of the resource, but soon they become greedy and seek by all means to be the only beneficiaries of the product. and for this they spare no effort to create conflicts in which they end up with total power over what they want.

This tactic was also used in the game of territorial conquest when the Portuguese arrived in northern Mozambique, when they found the Arabs who were already trading with the local chiefs in exchange for the ivory that was abundant in the region at the time. Upon reaching the coast, the colonists first used diplomacy but soon realized that the Arabs did not have the same military power as them, and using force they expelled them and took over the ivory trade in exchange for products such as porcelain and trinkets.

But they did not stop there, as they discovered that the tribal chiefs had little knowledge of the product for which they traded, after all they exchanged their valuable ivory for things like porcelain plates, glass and other things of very little value, the colonists using intelligence and cunning began to penetrate the interior making treaties with local chiefs so that they would only trade with them and later used force to exploit and steal riches from the native people.

One of the reasons why they were successful was the lack of union among the local chiefs, the lack of knowledge of the wealth they held and the weak military power by which they were usurped of their wealth, taken from their homeland and used as cheap labor in other countries. regions (slavery) and which later generated the great war for the end of the system of forced exploitation and much later the gain of independence and the formation of free nations.

Therefore, we can analyze that war always starts with human greed and excessive ambition.

Today, the same system of territorial exploitation continues, but it has gained another name, and now it is called cooperation in which one country provides what the other needs and in return, land and resource concessions are granted in exchange for goods, products and money but often ends in conflicts leading to incessant wars. In my country, for example, we have this type of cooperation, which today is generating an endless conflict in the north of the country, where there are large deposits of natural gas that many foreign countries want to grant.

The territory was and continues to be ravaged by atrocities where terrorists beheaded people in order to create panic and drive people to migrate to other regions, leaving the area under total control of the group and possible usurpation of resources. This conflict created a lot of conversation and generated several debates about the possible reasons, many agreeing that the problem has its reason because of the greed of some bosses who are in the government executive and their partners all to be able to acquire cheap natural gas while they fill up. dollar pockets.

This is an example but I assure you that there are many more spread around the world, in which the reason for wars and conflicts is human greed and ambition, today we see European countries forcibly entering other territories in order to intimidate others into accepting their demands. , and also continue to be at the mercy of these and accept all their existences. Deep down, when we also analyze this conflict, we see that it is a conflict with economic ends where one does not allow the other to start negotiating with the West, leaving socialism behind!

Conflicts are bad and create a lot of poverty among the population, forced migration, lack of food, constant uncertainty in the future, demand and desertion of individuals from the military ranks, economic problems for the countries involved etc, creating a big gap and allowing others to further develop their economy by supplying war material and benefiting from the war to fortify their own budget and dangerously turning themselves into super potencies with no one in their reach. Here, it's the same as saying that while some are at war, others are getting stronger economically and increasing their world power, giving them to rule it by themselves without no one to tell them what to do.

Wars are destructive and do not bring anything good, many war crimes are committed, children are separated from their parents, people forced to migrate, many human rights are violated, in short, they are not productive at all, neither for those who initiate them nor for whom all war material is directed, it comes at a cost, not to mention the human resources that are lost in these incursions, leaving the country orphaned of cadres and personnel who can help when the war ends.

It is time to say no to war and remember that peace is the reason for union and development among peoples, favoring good human coexistence.

Stop the war!
