Please dear. Don't join the army.

I have been anti-war almost my whole life. I went through the hitting phases of being a toddler, and a sibling, but now, I would like to say I'm proud to have grown out of that. I know that growing up, I was taught to share, and help other people. The ol' "Honey, why don't you let him have a turn?" or "Use your words," was always stressed for me. Sometimes, you don't get your way, and you have to deal with it. And other times, it is just nice to do things, because they make other people happy. I have a feeling, that most of us are brought up that way. To share and compromise, so that we can learn to deal with other people in our lives as we get older. 

What I don't understand, is how there is war going on. Between people, and countries. I don't understand how two five-year olds can sit and share the same doll, yet grown men and leaders cannot seem to work problems out. Instead they resort to warfare and violence. I do not see why it is necessary. War brings destruction, and loss to the world. Here I am, supposed to understand that we mature as we age. If people who lead others seem to fail at utilizing a lesson most people learn as children, what good is that?
