War is inevitable

Everyone is made as an individual. As hard as you try, you can never find another you. Starting from your DNA, to the color of your hair; even to the shape of your pinky toe, you will never be able to find an exact match. Furthermore, everyone has their own unique way of thinking. Depeinding on how you were brought up, you tend to see things differently than others. Some people may have the same consensus about common  beliefs,  and some may utterly disagree. The whole "disagreement" aspect is the main reason we as human beings might not get along. Starting from the beginning of time, war was always something that we would resort to when there was a disagreement of opposing forces. So some may ask, is there a way around war? Is war the only answer? Can peace ever be achieved? The answer is in our DNA. 

Personally, I feel that war can not be avoided. For instance, take someone who might feel strongly about a certain topic. As the person constantly obsesses over the particular situation, it becomes their main interest. Some people could even  drive themselves mentally insane over that certain something, to the point that they are willing to kill another human being. Our first instinct a lot of the time is to get mad at someone who is essentially not agreeing with what you have to say. As the anger accumulates in your body you begin to think of ways to silence that person. As the individual continues to disagree, and disagree your anger builds rapidly, and you become furious. Now your thinking of ways to hurt the person because of the way they are speaking to you; maybe that will teach them a lesson, you figure. You proceed to aggressively put a hand on them. In retaliation, they hit back. The fight continues until someone is too tired to lift a hand. Who ever "won" the fight has proven their point to be correct. This analogy links directly to what happens to countries who have little, to no patients for one another. People snap, people yell, people hit. It's all apart of human nature. I believe war cannot be avoided because of the fact that we, as individuals, all think so diversly. It's in our DNA to be different; and where there is difference, there is disagreement.
