Composition of the problem of war


War. Just a word. Five letters. But how many associations awaken in us it! Pain, heroism, patriotism, longing for close ones, hatred and love.

What is war? Why does it affect a person so much? To understand this issue, I decided to look into the history of mankind. Once upon a time war was for primitive people a guarantee of survival. They defended themselves against predatory beasts and attacks of other tribes.

Over time, people built villages and cities, defending themselves against predators. They also learned how to breed cattle and grow bread. It seems that the need for war must have disappeared.

But, having freed themselves from wars for the sake of survival, people began to fight for the sake of glory and enrichment. The names of the great conquerors are preserved in history: Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan, Tamerlane, Napoleon. There are legends about large military campaigns. And what boy did not play in the war as a child? Did not you dream of rushing with a sword on your horse, threatening to scare the enemy with a formidable look?

But what does the war really bring to ordinary people? Soon, seventy years, how the Great Patriotic War ended. Its echoes still respond with explosions of mines and shells forgotten in the fields. On the experience of the older generation, we know that war is pain and suffering. What lies in the trench in the forty-degree frost? Or live on four hundred grams of bread a day? And with what we can compare the pain of a woman who received a funeral for her husband or son? Or the experiences of a girl who escorted a guy to war, but waited for a disabled person?

Now I’m watching the ray of the setting sun. He is warm and affectionate. I know that there will be sunrise beyond sunset. And how it will be, warm and affectionate, or cruel and bloody, depends on us. And a feeling is born: no more war. Never.
