True this is completely through human lens.
Most of the time, wars happen because the people behind them are driven by greed. They crave fame, every leader dreams of having their name mentioned alongside Napoleon or Alexander the Great. They let their vanity destroy millions of lives, but in the end, they all end up in the same place. Yes, we know Alexander the Great, but guess what? He’s dead. So, despite our infinite capacity for knowledge and curiosity, we prove ourselves to be incredibly stupid.
