generally, war is repugnant, but peace is welcome.while peace is the ultimate goal of all of our undertaking in this world, war has been inevitable in the course of human civilization. does man have an innate taste for war? or is it just an acquired scheme learned from human society?
we only know that there hasn't been any period in the history during which the world was really at peace. human beings pursue peace and prosperity through the establishment of families, communities, and nations. why should we let all these be destroyed by wars?
to reduce the possibility of war to the lowest extent, i have two suggestions. first of all, education should be consolidated to eliminate the brutality and beastliness in human nature. knowledge derives from education and is a surer road to wisdom.
wisdom enables us to distinguish right from wrong. it also teaches us restraint and tolerance, two effective means of preventing wayward killing and destruction. another cure is religion. most religions in the world advocate philanthropy and forgiveness, which dissolve hatred and revenge.
consequently, education and religion working side by side can transform a barbarian into a civilized person. with wisdom and love, the human race as a whole will detest war and embrace peace.
一般来说，战争是令人厌恶的，但和平是受欢迎的，虽然和平是我们在这个世界上所有事业的最终目标，但战争在人类文明的进程中是不可避免的。人类天生就喜欢战争吗？或者它只是一个从人类社会学来的后天的计划？
我们只知道历史上没有一个时期世界真正处于和平状态。人类通过建立家庭、社区和国家来追求和平与繁荣。为什么我们要让这些都被战争摧毁？
为了把战争的可能性降到最低，我有两个建议。首先，要加强教育，消除人性中的残暴和残忍。知识源于教育，是通向智慧的更可靠的道路。
智慧使我们能够分辨是非。它也教会我们克制和宽容，这是防止任性杀戮和破坏的两种有效手段。另一种治疗方法是宗教。世界上大多数宗教都提倡慈善和宽恕，消除仇恨和报复。
因此，教育和宗教并肩工作可以把野蛮人变成文明人。有了智慧和爱，整个人类将憎恶战争，拥抱和平。
