All conflict begins the same, even in nature. Every scenerio of conflict is perpetuated by the same initial event. It always begins with 1 enitity believing they have the best idea, the best plan, the best way, the only version of truth, whatever that initial belief is starts the whole chain of events. The enitities begin a push, a struggle to force the opposing believer into submission, for their own good of course
Just as with this war on drugs/percieved weaker species of life. The persons who began the ball of conflict rolling, thought their belief was the rightest. And it is their duty to show the percieved weaker individual the better way. So it is their duty to use whatever means necessary to impose upon another, their superior way. Which is the guilty party? Those who lead or those who follow.
There must come a time in our existance where another option becomes available to us, or we will inevidly self destruct, first as indivuals, then as a species. As many species have proven this to be so, throughout history. We as a thinking, learning species must devise a way to allow all to exist without conflict, Which is only perpetuated by a struggle for control.
There must come a time when all people stop saying, "but I was just following the leader". A time when we learn to take responsibility and be accountable for allowing every other entity the right to exist. We must learn a new way as a whole. At some point self preservation must kick in on a global scale, and we all realize in order to exist, all must be allowed and appreaciated as the creation and existance of life, no matter the form.
Yes, the perverbial Ut0p!a. It seems impossible. The same conflict will always exist. It is a Paradox. To achieve this, someone would have to force a belief on another, and the ball starts rolling again. To be aware of the possibility of Ut0p!a and personally live it, even if your all alone, is the only defense against becoming part of the rolling ball of conflict.
