Wars do not only claim many lives but also spoil/destroy a man's character.
I agree because war starts with the greed of man, war will not start if one does not crave for more than what he already has. War causes a good thing for few people because their power would have increased but war mostly hurt the majority of the people because only a few people can get good things from it. Humans are not perfect but they have good points but when greed takes over they tend to do bad things for their own benefits. In the book you'll notice that because of the war
Achilles resentment towards Agamemnon because of his greed when Agamemnon took Briseis cannot be satisfied even when Agamemnon presented Achilles with a lot of gifts he rejected it and even when his friends visited him to comfort and make him feel satisfied he still resented Agamemnon.
The greed of men cannot be satisfied because even if we got what we want we will still look for more and something else humans lived to guard this world but what we are doing is the complete opposite we destroy and abuse the earth. This is proofs of how war can only bring forth pain and destruction.

ReplyDeleteI like this more than the first blog. However, it would have been better if you mention more proofs from books 7-11 that show how a man's character weakens because of war.
I am expecting more reference to the epic next time.
"we abuse and destroy the earth" i think this part is irrelevant
