This work is meant to make people reflect on the stupidity of war, on the little wisdom that animates struggles for domination of a territory. Just as cats who are ready to fight each other to prevail, so do people, peoples, states by initiating threats, intimidation, claims, confrontations to gain respect and supremacy through violence. Cats by fighting show their aggression and from outside, human eyes, their fights appear ridiculous, since they are instinctual reactions dictated by a lack of reason. This manner of behavior makes them appear stupid, endowed with a reduced consciousness and intelligence, inferior to us. Humans, are a species that through evolution has been endowed with a very refined consciousness and intelligence, but looking at wars in particular, one can notice and reflect on where is the human wisdom that uses its super-intelligence to self-afflict, to create suffering? Is development, progress disasters through multiple means, weapons, increasingly devastating strategies, etc.? What is wisdom if it fuels hatred and the danger of death?
Intelligence used to harm one's fellow man is the very intelligence of war, the great stupidity that leads to hating the other and seeking his elimination, just as trivial cats might do. Individuals, peoples, and states that resort to violence, to hatred, do not demonstrate progress, emancipation compared to their animal companions. If evolution is positive it should improve the living conditions of all, foster more and more peace, love, and respect for others; guarantee the essential conditions for the attainment of happiness and the diminution of suffering.
A society that ensures the development of a better life is not a society that resorts to wars to elevate itself, let alone the profit made from them. Causing suffering to others, identifying them as enemies and engaging in warfare is the same course of action ,only on a larger scale, as catfights.
