You will never see animals wage war. Of course, they sometimes fight, but these are fights between individuals, not wars where all the crows of the East fight against all the crows of the West, or all the dogs of India fight against the dogs of Pakistan. That doesn't happen. Dogs aren't fools, and neither are crows. Yes, they sometimes fight, and there's nothing wrong with that. If their freedom is threatened, they will fight. But these are fights between individuals, not large-scale wars.
And what have you done? You have subdued humanity, preventing individuals from occasionally releasing their anger—which would be natural. As a result, every person constantly accumulates anger, suppresses it... and one day, every person becomes so full of poison that it bursts out in a world war.
Obedience does not require intelligence. Machines are obedient.
No one has ever heard of a disobedient machine.
And also—obedience is simple. It removes any burden of responsibility from a person. There is no need to react; you simply do what you are told. Responsibility lies with the source from which the order comes. In a certain sense, you are very free. You cannot be judged for your actions.
Power is in the hands of such people... any madman can press a button and end all of humanity, all life on Earth.
But perhaps, deep down, humanity wants to end itself. Perhaps, at the individual level, people lack the courage to commit suicide, but on a global scale, they are ready.
Remember firmly that individuals do not commit great crimes. Great crimes are always committed by the crowd, because in the crowd, the individual believes: "I am not responsible for what is happening." He thinks: "I am just following other people." Before doing something questionable at the individual level, a person will think three times. What am I doing? Is it right? Does it align with my conscience? But not in a crowd. In a crowd, you get lost, and no one will ever know that you belonged to it.
Religions, society, and politicians have given people only fictions as a guide to life. Now all these fictions have crumbled, and people no longer have a reason to live—hence their torment. This is not just ordinary anxiety.
Anxiety is always focused on a specific problem. You have no money, no warm clothes, and winter is approaching; you are sick, and you cannot get medicine—these are anxieties. Anxieties relate to specific problems.
Torment is not caused by a specific problem. Existence itself seems meaningless and futile. It seems that simply breathing is a useless waste of energy. You make plans for tomorrow, but there comes a moment when you realize that nothing will happen. This is where torment begins. When a person is overcome by torment, his only concern is to escape from this cycle of life. Hence, the increase in the suicide rate and the maturation of the subconscious desire of humanity for a third world war to begin, and... "I will not have to answer for the suicide I have committed. The world war will kill everyone, including me."
What is the point of having different countries?
The whole Earth is one.
Lines are drawn only on maps, and because of these lines, you fight, kill, and rage. Such a silly game, and if humanity is not insane, then it is completely unclear why it continues.
