Why Are There Wars

Why are there wars Is there a reason for death and destruction The reason escapes me now Is it to prove superiority Why are there different races and cultures That were disgraced and died Is that a deplorable enough reason My mind of today at 86 is still questioning it There MUST be a reason

When you get it, please share it with this eighty-year-old, will you? I can't for the life of me understand why. What does Putin hope to gain, for example? When all is said and done, all he has achieved for himself is the moniker "monster!" He's a serial killer, for goodness sakes!

I am at a total loss for a reason for this insane worldwide killing and destruction! However it's been going on for centuries so I'm sure I won't see the end of it nor will you... sad!
