Friedrich Nietzsche

Mengapa kita tidak berperang tiap hari? Saya yakin dalam 10 tahun kedepan kita sudah memiliki koloni di Mars. Ahh manusia, dorongan terbesarnya adalah iri dan dengki, penderitaan, dan kekacauan. Tanpa sadar Moral Alkitab menjadi penyokong terbesar umat manusia

Why do we not wage war every day? This question, rooted in the inherent nature of humanity, reflects a profound complexity of motivations and desires within our species. From a Nietzschean perspective, the driving forces behind human behavior are envy, jealousy, suffering, and chaos. These primordial instincts, ingrained within us for millennia, shape our interactions and decisions on a daily basis. And yet, despite the constant presence of these destructive impulses, we somehow manage to restrain ourselves from engaging in continuous conflict and violence. Perhaps it is the evolution of societal structures, the development of moral codes, or the pursuit of higher ideals that prevents us from descending into perpetual warfare. Looking to the future, the possibility of colonizing Mars within the next decade stands as a testament to the boundless ambition and ingenuity of the human spirit. And yet, even as we reach for the stars, we must not forget the dark undercurrents of our collective psyche that continue to drive us towards chaos and destruction. In this relentless pursuit of progress and conquest, the moral teachings of the Bible serve as a guiding light, offering a semblance of order and righteousness amidst the tumultuous sea of human existence. It is through the constant struggle between our basest instincts and our loftiest aspirations that we find meaning and purpose in this life, navigating the treacherous waters of existence with courage and fortitude."
