Thought-Provoking Quotes On War
Human beings have been fighting wars since prehistory, ever since the notions of territory and ownership came into existence. We often read about the exploits of great kings and generals on the pages of books, and yet, we all can agree that war brings death and destruction on both sides. As we human beings have developed more advanced technology, our wars have become more devastating and further-reaching. While some have tried to justify wars by terming them as 'necessary evils' that sprout from conflicts of interest between two parties striving for existence, the Earth is bountiful enough to provide for the entire human race if we are only able to see past our greed. Moreover, history has shown us that even non-violence can achieve a lot if channeled properly. As new conflicts stir parts of the world each day, let us go through the thought-provoking quotes on war below.
