Borrowing From Nature

I feel like war is inevitable because it is in human nature to want to fight for things that do not belong to us. When we are born, we own nothing but life. Everything in nature is not labeled for each individual and it is not ours to take. I believe that nothing really belongs to us. We just claim that it does. Everything we "own" can be easily taken away from someone else, like in Onibaba. Anything can belong to anyone, there is nothing that condemns a person to owning specific things. The warrior armors were easily taken by the women in the movie, however that does not make it theirs. We live in a society where we can buy things and claim that it is ours, but in reality it could be anybody's we just have possession of it for the moment. Everything we have is just passed around from one person to the next. We are all borrowing from nature.


I'm not saying that how we are running society is bad though. Humans need some type of order and rules or everyone would be running wild and doing whatever they please. Everyone would be taking things from others with no self control. And there would be chaos instead of war. War is more like an organized chaos which is weird to say. But there is some kind of order and strategy in war. If there is no order, human nature will take over and destroy us all because every man is for himself.
