The Most Recent Century

It was so sad to me that when speaking of the most recent century, the century that I am apart of, the first thing our book spoke of was war and the effects of war.
Is this really how we are defining the century?
Is violence the only way that we feel our voice can be heard?

I'm more of a pacifist myself. I used to say that I was a left handed hippie in a previous life.

War, amoung other things, all comes down to this idea of superiority. Personally, I feel that people and nations that feel the need to distinguish themselves as "superior" are completely insecure. It's sad that bullying has reached a global level.
