It is frightening to see some people on this thread saying how they feel an urge to go to war because they "want to best other men" or "want to win".
One way to counteract that could be actively practicing nullifying one's ego. Everyday, do one thing you really dislike, and stop doing one thing you really like and can do. People need to get over this ridiculous idea that all their desires must be sated.
- aswerty 12y agoIt may be frightening but it is a very natural urge. Most people use sport and competition as an outlet for this. Personally I think the idea of trying to nullify our innate desires is a a lot scarier.

- littletimmy 12y agoA lot of that desire is basically buying into government propaganda, and that is even more problematic.
- 67726e 12y agoI don't buy into government propaganda to a large degree. I'm fiercely critical of my government. But you clearly have your preconceived notions, so I'll leave you to it.
