There is no justification except to prevent more of the same, which is always possible. It makes me fall into pieces, so I have to put them together again in new ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It breaks my heart for every person involved, whether civilian or military, personal or loved one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The cause of the inexcusable<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Logically, the eventual cause lies where the bucket of motivation stops: in the human energy that is a natural given \u2015 this is, in <a href=\"https:\/\/aurelis.org\/blog?p=3679\">deep motivation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only, this stops nowhere. Also, in a complex environment (such as the human mind, more than anything), the roads may be long and winding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s look at a parallel diagram to the one <a href=\"https:\/\/aurelis.org\/blog?p=11517\">from negative to positive mindset<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"702\" height=\"336\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aurelis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-1.png?resize=702%2C336&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11547\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aurelis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-1.png?w=702&amp;ssl=1 702w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aurelis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-1.png?resize=300%2C144&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>With a twist<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the energy cannot get realized positively, then the cause for this obstruction (three parallel lines in the image) can be seen as causing the alternative\/negative route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This relation may be less straightforward. Also, inner aggression may be present inside without the person feeling it clearly \u2015 for instance, as chronic pain or another symptom. Good coaching may be clarifying in this regard. As a matter of fact, medication doesn\u2019t do so at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The thwarting of positive action (thus, indirectly, causing war) may happen time and again at a big scale through external causes fed by people with the best and most peaceful intentions \u2015 for instance, through the \u2018disciplined education of children.\u2019 This makes it even more urgent to strive for proper insights into the human being \u2013 a <a href=\"https:\/\/aurelis.org\/blog?p=11536\">humanistic responsibility<\/a> \u2013 and, more specifically, insights into <a href=\"https:\/\/aurelis.org\/blog?p=11529\">implicit life<\/a> that runs throughout the day, every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Science<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, science increasingly shows and proves many relevant aspects of the complex human mind puzzle that may significantly lead us forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, this science lies practically hidden \u2014 not getting through to mainstream knowledge or even to other scientific domains. It\u2019s as if a veil hangs over it, and even the why-question receives no answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Are people \u2018not ready\u2019?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then the cause of war lies in this non-readiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re getting closer. Also, we\u2019re getting to where things can actually get done with a lot of effort and daring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is still challenging but feasible.<\/p>\n<div data-object_id=\"11534\" class=\"cbxwpbkmarkwrap cbxwpbkmarkwrap_no_cat cbxwpbkmarkwrap-post \"><a  data-redirect-url=\"https:\/\/aurelis.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11534\"  data-display-label=\"0\" data-show-count=\"0\" data-bookmark-label=\" \"  data-bookmarked-label=\" \"  data-loggedin=\"0\" data-type=\"post\" data-object_id=\"11534\" class=\"cbxwpbkmarktrig  cbxwpbkmarktrig-button-addto\" title=\"Bookmark This\" href=\"#\"><span class=\"cbxwpbkmarktrig-label\"  style=\"display:none;\" > <\/span><\/a> <div  data-type=\"post\" data-object_id=\"11534\" class=\"cbxwpbkmarkguestwrap\" id=\"cbxwpbkmarkguestwrap-11534\"><div class=\"cbxwpbkmarkguest-message\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"cbxwpbkmarkguesttrig_close\"><\/a><h3 class=\"cbxwpbookmark-title cbxwpbookmark-title-login\">Please login to bookmark<\/h3>\n\t\t<form name=\"loginform\" id=\"loginform\" action=\"https:\/\/aurelis.org\/blog\/wp-login.php\" method=\"post\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<p class=\"login-username\">\n\t\t\t\t<label for=\"user_login\">Username or Email Address<\/label>\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"log\" id=\"user_login\" class=\"input\" value=\"\" size=\"20\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p class=\"login-password\">\n\t\t\t\t<label for=\"user_pass\">Password<\/label>\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"password\" name=\"pwd\" id=\"user_pass\" class=\"input\" value=\"\" size=\"20\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<p class=\"login-remember\"><label><input name=\"rememberme\" type=\"checkbox\" id=\"rememberme\" value=\"forever\" \/> Remember Me<\/label><\/p>\n\t\t\t<p class=\"login-submit\">\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" name=\"wp-submit\" id=\"wp-submit\" class=\"button button-primary\" value=\"Log In\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"redirect_to\" value=\"https:\/\/aurelis.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11534\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/form><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Worldly factors are causes only inasmuch as they are related to human motivations.
