every time china has a prolonged period of peace, the nobility gets corrupt which then opens it up for invasion. culture may be the result of extended peace, but unity is only achieved through conflict. ironically, there is no peace without war. yin and yang.
- gbog 11y agoYes, that's the second order analysis. But the mantra stating that war brings wealth and competition, that war is "sane and natural" from civilisation point of view, is wrong. Peace is the "sane and natural" state for human civilisation, and while some degradation can occur in an extended period with no major conflict, this is a side effect of peace, not the main effect (which is, again, that people can gather wealth and transmis it to their offsprings)
- awl130 11y agoWar is the natural state of man. Therefore peace must be vigilantly enforced through law.
