Human Nature
To branch off on what Jersey was saying, I remember hearing that there's only been about a two minute span of time in history where there wasn't some sort of a war happening in our world. I feel as if war is an unavoidable piece of humans. We can't simply ignore human nature and become a more simplistic species like bees or ants. Roan and Jersey are saying that we can come together when we see disaster. But what about the Titanic? Thousands of people were abandoned in the water because most of the boats wouldn't return and give up their extra space. There are examples of every sort of reaction to disaster, but humans naturally think for themselves first and foremost. Hobbes's outlook on human nature is very cynical, but what else can we believe in a world that has a constant stream of problems?
