The sole reason most of the wars happen is a human's uncontrollable urge to fulfill his or her ego. Don't believe me? Ask Caesar. He wanted to prove the Senate that he should be the king forever when the senate wanted democracy. So, he waged wars to fix the eye of the whole populace and divert them from seeing that he was taking the power of the country.
But in the modern day wars are fought psychologically, mentally and socially. Wars are not fought between empires or countries but they are fought between individuals or ideologies. The wars in the olden days used to fought for ideologies too but now it is clear cut that ideas fight with words, photos, videos, gossip and debates. Sometimes they do take in action in the primeval form i.e. the chair fight between MPs in the parliament. But most of it is fought civilized or is it?
Let us compare the wars from histories to modern day. In those days ,war had a code. You could kill someone but there was point when the killing was justified. There were barbarians too but they had their own code and honor. They had honor above all. But today you cannot kill someone but can do everything else. You could make someone's life a hell by posting videos, comments, articles, photos, rants, campaigns. The latest example would be the fight that broke between two huge celebrities over the internet. (I am not taking names!)
Today there is no honor between the brawlers. They pull out all shots. Everything is fair in love and war they say but I neither see love nor do I see war because war basically for me is like a bloody Quentin Tarantino movie. But the most ridiculous wars are fought between boys and girls who supposedly loved each other at a time. I mean if you really loved that someone wouldn't never talk something bad about that person? I mean that is like idiocracy at best.
Mankind has evolved and prospered into the digital age just to see two people fight. The amount of electriciyt, internet used to rant about someone could actually benefit a boy in Africa to study and fulfill his lifelong dream of going to Disneyland (I am assuming he has heard of Disneyland!). So, it is better to hear people talk about olden wars then them saying,"Why? Why? Why? Laaaady!"
