What would possess humankind to kill so many people in wars?
<|assistant|>
Humankind has been waging war against one another since the beginning of time, often out of competition for resources, fear of one another, or a variety of other reasons. In many instances, people are trained to follow orders and blindly adhere to the notion that they are defending something or someone important. The resulting death, destruction, and displacement of war often elicits feelings of powerlessness and inability to make an impact in a better way.
