WORLD WAR THREE?
(WW111)
_____________________________

Definitions, according to Sharpen (at least).

Words: are devices which we use to communicate with others, written (in some way) or sounded vocally. These are often mis-interpreted by others even in the 'same' or a similar language. (This is often the result of what we call 'humour'). They share little with words devised by other persons who have different structural mouthings or writings (i.e. languages). Translation is difficult, (if not impossible), which leads most often to conflicts between peoples living even a close (if that were possible) distance away.
earth: the 'planet' (given words) that we share for a limited time with its lets and mores. Part of a system within which we call the unverse. Nothing else does.
World; the place upon this earth which is created by the 'mind' of Man.
Mind: a function of a brain.
Truth: As an Ultimate, with a capital 'T' , non-existent.
truth/s: Without a capital letter, a possibility, given first-hand evidence from an individual's personal senses, whatever they may be.
Controller: an individual who would deem to control others due to a dysfunction in being unable to control him/herself.
Data: bits of knowledge.
Information: bits of knowledge (data) made into what we come to believe as coherent 'truths' or knowledge.
___________________________________________________

    The earth is here, as what we (as Men and Women) call a 'planet'. Without ever knowing how, what we call 'life-forms' began to appear. First very 'simple', then more complex. That is how things evolve or change from one thing into another.
    The creature, which later called himself 'Man', was a product of this evolution of life-forms.
    His 'strength', in the scheme of things, lay in his ability to control other life-forms to/for his own purpose. His strength, in terms of a 'physical' strength, was more or less than other creatures who were either 'stronger' in terms of physical attributes or 'stronger' in terms of their ability to adapt to their environment faster than Man could achieve. Other creatures, he subsequently called 'lower' forms of life (e.g. bacteria and viruses from which Man, in the first place, evolved). The word 'lower', is of course a moot point and not necessarily a truth.
    Having evolved, Man, seemingly, (but not superior to other life-forms... why should he be?) and having developed a brain (without conscious involvement) brought about a means of communication with his other beings, that led him to a belief that he was stronger, wiser (whatever that means) and more powerful (because of that belief) than other life-forms.
    He, therefore, (with a language to communicate beyond the grunts and snarls of his 'lesser fellows'),  invented the World.
    What Man failed to realise was, that, without other life-forms (and the way they developed alongside him), that he was reliant upon them for his own survival. It was (to be, or not to be) a symbiotic survival.  The notion of 'alongside him', therefore, is crucial.
    What we call 'Nature' (and adding provisos, such as 'Mother Earth' and such-like, are merely words of comfort to us, knowing that we survive only because of the way that the earth presents itself to us as hopefully positve, (that is, it doesn't chuck tsunamis at us and volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and so forth). Without beliefs to the contrary (various gods and so forth) we have little help in claiming our survival (for all our intonations to the opposite).
    What we call 'Nature' is merely the way the earth (as on any planet) is developing within the universe. From what and towards what, we will never know, in a truth. Therefore, I believe, we invent beliefs to account for our lack of comfort in not knowing why we are here.
    Why we are here, is a moot point. None of the creature Man, knows. Some believe in 'something' that 'knows' (some sort of omniscient 'god-being'), others, not.
    Beliefs in extra-terrestial objects give us a sort of comfort. We, as Man, seem to need tangible comfort, (that is, something we can feel or get hold of physically), since we have not developed enough in brain-power to see or seek otherwise. This 'tangible' comfort requires some visible and physical means of support. This support is shown by Man (whom we choose to call Human Beings) by these visible and physical supports.  These are my notions of the 'Comfort Syndrome'; the baby dummy (dummy breast), the bottle of water or 'Coke', the base-ball cap, the security blanket and so forth.             These supports do not exist in a spiritual World, which mainly rely upon notions or ideas, rather than visible or physical evidence. Thus might Man believe in gods, whom he cannot see and cannot feel in a tangible self. Also are created anomolies such as: Thou shalt not worship idols...no Mary icons?
    Why we are here, raises questions of 'purpose'. Why, given that we are products of our environment, should we need a purpose? A 'purpose' is only because we can't understand ourselves and why we seem to be here. There must be a reason, we say, Why? 'Purpose' is another word in our dictionary of why-are-we-here that really says nothing and means nothing.
    "I am searching for myself." is a very common phrase. "Who am I?" is another. Why bother? You are here. We are here because that is the nature of human sexual activity; there, I believe, it ends. We have to make the best of what is given/allotted to us; that is a life-form with certain characteristics. Once given, little going back. Survival is what we do as best we can, as individuals. We can't leave it up to others; we are (ultimately) on our own. We can't leave our existence up to someone else, a 'god' or otherwise.
    Given that we are here, as individuals (which we are), we must make the best of our living to ourselves and not rely on others to give us comfort, but to fend for ourselves.
    Comfort remains in an external breast to feed us and give closeness to the heart of that with which we lived with for the nine months or so from  our conception to our birth.
    This pre-birth comfort remains in our biological memory that makes us later use symbols and artificial aids to remain faithful to that memory.
    What is serious about our independence is that we often fail to understand the need of others to proclaim that independence. We fail to see that to be independent, we need the comfort of others. When we have left the womb we begin our independence. That is the nature of being a human animal. From then on, we are on our own, despite and in spite of, the contributions of our supposed 'nearest and dearest'.
    Given that we are all products of sexual reproduction, the mingling of genes and chromosomes and a subsequent biological memory of events during our inter-uterine growth, we become unique human beings. That is/was the strength of our survival. To change this is a cause for considerable concern.
    The earth culls or restricts 'those' creatures (or 'that', if you include what are termed as inanimate objects, like trees and flowers) that are unsuited for survival.
    Man, in his 'wisdom' does the same thing, but with ulterior motives. These motives are not of the earth but the World he created for his own ends. They are selfish and greedy for those ends.
    The history of the World seems to show that the creature called Man seems to have strong tendencies towards self-destruction.
    The history of the earth also shows that Man, as a creature upon it, is merely that. Notions otherwise, are all suspect.
    The creature, Man (including woman, of course), since his inherent weakness in terms of physical strength, developed over aeons a weapon for survival called a brain. That is not to say that others creatures do not have a brain but that it has not developed as the Man creature's because it was not necessary. Animals are animals. They do what they do. That is the measure of their survival.
    The animal/creature that we call Man has done exactly the same thing. The notion that Man is in any way 'superior' to other creatures is spurious sublime.
    Man developed techniques of/for using this 'brain' to survive. This development led to an awareness of being aware. This also led him to believe that he was superior to other creatures because he could bring about their down-fall or use them for his own ends. In other words he used them, originally, to give him food, clothing and take their place of cover from the elements as his own. This he developed into techniques of being able to control them otherwise.
    Thus is Man born, the creator of his own destiny; already to the detriment of the other creatures with whom he shared the earth (but that is a Man concept, of course).
    To share something, is to have a common agreement as to the sharing. Sharing, is a gift. A 'gift' is given (and received) only if the recipient agrees to the exchange. 'I accept the gift' (and exchange my thanks). The expression, 'It is harder to receive than to give', is very appropriate, here. The reason is that there may always be considered to be 'ulterior' motives. That seems to be the negative way that humans look upon life. This is sad. The reasons seem to be unknowable.
    Man needs to share his existence with other flora and fauna. They are, after all, the reason he is on this planet and stays here. Without them, he cannot exist in his present, or, I believe, his future existence or some sort of state.
    At the present time in Man's history, he seems to want to share with the earth only so much as he is willing to give. That is very little, and the earth does not respond with 'I accept the gift'.
    Man is a greedy animal. Whether or not that is part of his survival may well, also, be a moot point or one to ponder upon.
    To the extent of his greed, Man exploits the earth. He grabs more than is needed for survival because he fears his demise and he is greedy.
    Man's brain, it seems, may be the instrument for his survival, so far, but his demise, later on.
    So what of World War Three? you ask.
    There is no WW111.  We live in a World War Three. Any World War is only a continuum of all other wars (whatever they may be called and for whatever 'reason'), since Man inhabited/'progressed' upon the earth.
    What, then, is a war?
    A 'war' (you can retrieve your Thesaurus, somehow, for other words to describe the same atrocity), is a means of establishing your 'bully' power over others, if that is your proclivity. War is not necessarily a large or larger group of people trying to exert their pressure over others. War can also be a fight one-on-one. That is, you take what you can, via your strengths and against their apparent weaknesses, for your own ends. The 'size' of a war does not matter. The 'nature' of the war does not matter. The 'issue' of the war does not matter. The 'victims/innocents' of the war do not matter. What matters, is, there is war.
    The problem, therefore, is not the/a war. The problem is the determined efforts of greedy, desperate humans (and those who support them in any way), to bully others by such means as to get them to submit to their wiles and fancies. You rent the hovel (at your peril and exhorbitant rates which they make sure you can't afford); they own the palace. After all, they have the bullies to make sure you submit to their desires.
