Our March Towards Peace?

Sorry for this emotional post but this idea has been on my mind for a while.  If it's too upsetting just skip it.
  
By now I imagined the world be at peace, using the fortune spent on warfare to improve everyone's life.  But it's worse than ever. Will there be a third world war?

I remember what my uncle Ben told us. He believed that war was a way that nature used to stop overpopulation. Sounds strange doesn't it?

But is war an inevitable uncontrollable force of evil?





















(Try full screen and more volume.)




















Is it hopeless?

  1. I like to be optimistic, but realistically it is always possible. Human beings never seem to learn how to all get along.

  2. It's a good question, John. The great powers stepped back from the brink of nuclear war in the 60s, which is reason to be optimistic. But I think also that there will always be struggles for power, which can lead to conflict. Some of the wars in the Middle East have been going on for hundreds of years. I've concluded that the best I can do is to encourage peaceful behavior in my life, and to keep informed about local, regional, national and international affairs, in case action needs to be taken. I also try not to be put off by the news, because only bad news seems to be reported. If you look at science websites and TED talks on youtube, you soon realize that there are so many good people working to better the world and to solve the problems we have. And that keeps me hopeful.

  3. You have done a lot of work finding quotes and photos for your post.
    If we could see into the future we would know that answer.
    Personally the world and it's people are heading towards another world war.
    Inclined to agree with Albert Einstein.

  4. I will never believe it is hopeless. That being said I also believe it will be a long time before the "little wars" that we see around the world will be extinguished. It will be difficult because so many leaders of countries seem to enjoy the power they feel while inflicting these horrors on others.

  5. I don't think we will have WWIII anytime soon. Most large world nations are not at risk at war anymore. Putin knows what war against NATO will do to his own country. That's why the war machine finds these small nations to bring "freedom" to

  6. War will not end until human greed and lust for power ends.

  7. I don't see war coming anytime soon but things are bad right now. I don't think we'll ever see real peace.

Understanding the Introvert

I have to admit it. I'm an introvert and this article explains it best. I need friends as much as anyone but I just find it difficult.  Anyway, I'm better off this way than being with people who are phony and manipulative.  Here is a copy of the article from the "Lifehack" site: http://www.lifehack.org/articles/communication/you-didnt-get-why-you-couldnt-get-along-with-introverts-before-you-read-this-youll-understand-after.html The website is on my list of interesting sites.
 

QWERTY vs DVORAK Keyboard

I never knew there was a different type of keyboard like DVORAK instead of QWERTY (named after the first six letters on the left of the first row) , at least not in English or similar languages. Chinese has a modified QWERTY keyboard something like: Or maybe this keyboard below is purely Chinese: Back to English:  The video below explains why the QWERTY keyboard is used almost 100% today and some future possibilities.  Not changing my keyboard, it's not worth the effort for me .
