"It's so sad to see the world agree/ that they'd rather see their faces filled with flies/ all when I'd want to keep white roses in their eyes."
This is a quote by my favorite band, Neutral Milk Hotel, and I think it's really true. Humans, by nature, will never choose peace. We are confrontational by nature, and peace may never work, no matter how hard we try.
It's often said that we are unique in that we have always fought our environment rather than reached stasis with it. It shows that while we are good at changing our environment and figuring out ways around things, we really aren't that good at accepting things for how they are.
After all, you don't see birds ordering pizza, or penguins getting their coats because the water is a little chilly. Wolves don't quarrel over the fact that their neighbor took two chunks of meat while they only got one, and you don't see mice tearing down pieces of grass to clear space for a condo.
