Why Do Wars Happen? Looking Beneath the Surface of Human Conflict

current affairs
Black and gold blog image with the words โ€œWhy Wars Happenโ€ reflecting on the deeper causes of human conflict and war.

Why do wars happen or why do people start wars and fighting with each other? Some say it's "to sell weapons". That's a surface level answer. Whoever stops there isn't thinking deeper. That's ok. Here though, in my space, let's think deeper. 

It human nature? Is it spiritual in nature? Is it unavoidable? Is it a particular race or religion or type of people that's starting most of them? Is it a particular race or religion or type of people that most others dislike? Let's start with that surface-level reason, and touch on a few others.

 

Surface-Level Reasons People Give For War

  1. To sell weapons. To sell weapons? Shouldn't it be the other way around, in the sense if someone is asking someone why they sell weapons, the answer would be, "because wars are happening, we might as well profit?" How do people start wars to sell weapons? What does that even mean? Well for one, you'd have to ask the people who gave this confusing answer but here's what I think they mean. They mean that some countries are SO powerful, that they basically "stir shit" in volatile areas get those opposing parties fighting again and then let one, or both, parties know that they're going to sell them weapons and will "help" in that way. Yes. Go figure. 
  2. People are infringing on "my land". Border disputes, "territory claims", and so on. Humans saying, "this is mine", "NO, this is MINE!" ... and so on...
  3. People not liking something about other people. "Can you believe this group of people are doing this?" "Can you believe this group of people are doing that?" "They tell women that men own them!" "These guys eat dogs and torture them before that for fun!" "These guys do the most experimentation on human slaves." "These governments actually CLOSE EYES to human trafficking!"

There are many surface level reasons we will find if we look hard enough. We give them to each other daily, for various things. 

 

A Mid-Level Political Explanation

Now let's go slightly deeper. A friend on Facebook recently posted that the real reason for example that the U.S. attacked Iran in this recent war (March 2026) and Venezuela before that was to dismantle China's amazing arrangement on oil with Iran. Good stuff. That's a mid-level reason.

 

Digging Beneath The Surface

Now let's go deeper together, into things beneath the surface, in this particular example, which is applicable, I would venture, to all human conflict of any kind.

WHY, would the U.S. want to establish a chokehold on China's oil agreement? 

  • To establish itself as the largest superpower in the world, you might say.

WHY, would the U.S. want to establish itself as the "largest superpower" in the world?

  • So it basically has its finger in every pie and can control how things work, worldwide, you might say.

WHY, would the U.S. want to do that and control everything? Now, we're beginning to get somewhere.

  • I'd like to suggest to you that this is because it is fearful of losing control.

WHY, is it fearful of losing control?

  • Humans in general like certainty, and dislike uncertainty. It's a human survival trait and their government seems to be made of humans.

WHY, does the American government think that if they let other countries also establish similar levels of power, that they would be losing control?

  • They think that these other powers could then attack them and topple their own survival.

WHY, does the American government think that other countries would attack them and topple their own survival?

  • Humans have a propensity for negative thoughts and negativity bias and it can take years of conditioning and harmonious living to reduce it. 

WHY, does the American government (and every other government and nation since this is only one example), not work on their personal development to the Nth degree towards the goals of kindness, love, harmony and higher vibrations and work diligently to eradicate negativity?

Now my friends, we have arrived at the core of the issue. I would like you to ponder this.

 

Possible Explanations People Suggest

  1. Some say the world is run by a shadow organisation, either human or otherwise, above the governments, who will instruct these governments to fight and do things. Why the governments of the whole world listen to them is beyond me. Your guess is as good as mine. Are they physical in nature? Are they more numerous than 8 billion humans? Or are the governments living in harmony with them as we are aiming to pursue on Earth (sorry, bad joke)? 
  2. Others say that we haven't evolved to the point of peace and love yet. We are still operating like warring animals. We think we're evolved as a species and very intelligent. Not quite. We're pretty primitive. This group flings bombs, the other flings bombs, this group flings bombs, the other flings bombs. Sounds like the bullies in the schoolyard who had parents with unpleasant lives and it passed down to their kids. *shrugs*
  3. Certain organisations like in point 1., have conditioned humans systematically to remain in conflict with one another and continue to do so, so that they can reap the profits the way they've planned it. So greed, basically, executed through power and control. How much greed can one human have? I'm not sure. Sex once a day, 3 solid meals and 1 or 2 good spiritual experiences a day later, I'm full. So where do these appetites come from lol? 
  4. We have remained in our comfort zones which separate us from the actual Universal Truths, in line with point 3., 2. and maybe 1., where we are happy to intake conditioning by others and not think for ourselves. We see it everywhere. Day jobs, people playing sports thinking they're "uniting" (pure nonsense as sports divide us), people glued to their screens for hours like robots thinking they're "de-stressing with entertainment", people numbing their actual feelings because they're too scared to actually face their own feelings which is their body talking to them through substances like alcohol, and the list goes on and on and on.

 

The Role Of The Individual

So I'll leave you with this. If you can, work on the core issues I've highlighted above, in whatever fashion, shape and way you can. Daily. Then maybe, just maybe, we might have a more peaceful world one day. "The world" is simply you and me and 8 billion of us.

If we individually can't be peaceful and sovereign, how can the world be peaceful and sovereign?

If you cannot say no when your armed forces commander says, "shoot", how can the wars stop?

If someone tries to stir shit in your sphere and you let them, how can the world be free of meddling hands?

If you don't stop self-soothing with ridiculously poisonous substances, how can your body live till 200 like it was built to? How can you think straight? How can you stand up to low vibrations and rise? Do you not value your own life and essence?

 

Love,
Zephyr
