    If you look back through history there have hardly been any times of global peace. There's always a war or a skirmish going on somewhere. It's a part of what we humans do. It's a competition for resources between one group and another group.

    You see it in nature too. Ever seen a flock of Seagulls square off against a murder of crows over feeding territory along the shoreline ? Maybe a pod of dolphins killing a lone porpoise that's hunting their area of the ocean ?

    You could say that business is a metaphor for war. Some of the fiercest battles are being waged in the boardrooms and not the battlefields these days.



    The cold war was a battle of economies between the former Soviet Union and the United States.There are economic unions cropping up all over the globe right now. Every one of them is fighting for their piece of the pie.

    Hard to imagine but Russia,Germany,Italy,England,Spain, Portugal, and Iran were all global superpowers of their day. Wars broke out and great empires crumbled into ruin.

    It's hard to accept, but it seems that it was intended that a state of war would always exist in the grand design of things. It helps maintain the balance of nature.

    Too many humans on the planet ? Resources being consumed faster than they can they can be replaced ? It seems inevitable that a widespread war would break out in order to reduce our numbers to more sustainable levels.
