Seth GrahameSmithI have read of the great wars of ages past, and men slaughtered by the tens of thousands. And we give but fleeting consideration to their deaths, for it is our nature to banish such thoughts.
About This Quote
Wars have been a part of human history for as long as we have been on Earth. In fact, it can be argued that the very first wars took place between two groups of humans trying to secure resources from each other. As human civilization evolved, humans found ways to resolve disputes without resorting to war. However, as the world changed and as technology advanced, the need for war diminished and eventually disappeared.
We humans have moved from a world where war was a common occurrence to a world where war is almost unknown. However, these early wars were not the only wars humans have waged. Wars continue to this day and one of the biggest issues our world faces is a lack of understanding about what these wars mean and how they affect our lives.
We rarely think about them because we simply do not want to believe that war is something that can happen in our time or to us. Despite this, there are people who suffer from war every day. One way for us to help these people is by understanding what war is and what it means for them and their lives
