I've been putting a considerable amount of thought into morals as they seem to be a present issue in my life right now, more than ever. Morals are the source of controversy. They split people into groups and factions and when you believe so greatly in something, it's frustrating and confusing why others can think differently.
In regards to war, morals play a significant part. I can see both sides of the arguments of war. For example, the argument that evil forces threatening the lives of innocent people needs to be contained by military actions. For example the hate Hitler instilled in millions of people as well as the intiative to act on this hate. The opposing argument for this would be humans shouldn't kill their fellow specie. We should all be looking out for each other. I have to say I find myself leaning more towards the second argument but it's so far from ever happening that I'm incredibly discouraged by the unlikeness. We live in a world where genuine care for others is over run by selfishness and greed. Unfortunately, power is the the greatest contributed to this selfishness and greed, and it is those in power who make the important decisions in this world. It's an interesting thought that human nature could destructing our world.
Killing another person is wrong. But passion, anger, or fear, all of which are natural instincts, can over shadow common sense.
