A. What is a War?
A war is a state of armed conflict between two independent entities such as states or countries. An Arms or weapon is a tool with the potential ability to take the life of another being.
Throughout human history, we have already suffered significantly due to wars and weapons. America destroyed a large population of Japan within a week in 1945 with its use of nuclear weapons in two Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Fundamentals of Human Life and Civilization?
Life is a struggle for survival, thriving, and reproduction. Only 11% of the planet’s mass is habitable, and less than 1% of the planet’s entire water source is drinkable water. Even this habitable zone goes through constant geographic, climate, and ecological changes such as volcanic eruptions, drought, flood, landslide, and so on.
Therefore a safe shelter, food, and freshwater governs the prosperity of a species. Humans have further increased the need by adding another critical essential called Energy. Other animals get their energy from the sun. However, as we started building our civilization we needed to work in the nights, even when there was no sun. Therefore we needed to look for energy sources that we can store and use. We had to find energy sources that could give us more energy in a unit of time and space than the sun can provide us. We invented fire, and we had to have the energy sources to keep the fire alive. Coal and Oil have been two important energy sources for us throughout history.
Our civilization also thrives on minerals. We need minerals like Gold, Silver, Aluminum, Copper, Zinc, Iron, and many other such minerals for various purposes starting from construction to building machines, or simply for the sake of using them(like Gold).
Having access to food, water, energy, shelter, and energy today is not enough for any species. It has to also ensure that the same is available tomorrow also and over a significant period of time, at least till the next generation.
Imagine you are living near a lake and the water is gone tomorrow, and there is no water till a rainfall. Can you survive there even if there is enough food? Or Imagine there is a huge deep lake in the middle of a desert. There are no other animals, plants, or other food sources there. Can you survive in the middle of that desert by going there with one day’s bread and butter?
Therefore, we can state that:
The human species has fundamental life goals of {Survive, Thrive, and Reproduction}, and these fundamentals are governed by {shelter, food, energy, water, and mineral} availibility and reserve.
