Since the beginning of humanity, we have always been at war with each other. From sticks and stones, to bow and spear, to musket and gunpowder, to nuclear missiles and their potential devastation, self-destruction is in our nature. The amount of change we are going through as a species is increasing exponentially, and as a result, we are advancing our tools of warfare to the point that it could have devastating repercussions for the entire world. Our knowledge as human beings is a curse and a blessing; we have escaped the earth's natural cycle and are no longer repressed by nature unlike all other species. We unconsciously desire not only to give away our own lives, but also to take the lives of others. Since no other force can keep the human population under control, there is something inherent within us that not only creates a desire for annihilation, but also turns the idea of ​​peace into a fantasy. Therefore, humanity's willingness to destroy and sacrifice is an immutable aspect of our collective human nature. This article is about war, nuclear weapons, and most importantly everything; the motivational factors behind what drives us to fight in these wars. The article explains “archetypal death”; Kull states that “there is a desire, usually unconscious, that pushes us towards the destruction of the world”. There has to be some sort of explanation as to why humanity has this propensity to wage wars on other countries. You might say the main reason is that Country X has something that Country Y has, and there is no other way to get it other than to have a war. Kull's theory goes much deeper than that; he believes it is an attractive and almost magnetic force that we human beings possess within us. Consequently, this means that all human beings have this element in our… paper medium… which can lead to our ultimate downfall. Human beings have an innate propensity for their own annihilation; however it is an element of humanity that will never change. Despite this, we can only do our best to minimize the impact this has on our world. Avoiding a nuclear holocaust should be priority number one; it would not only lead to mass destruction but also to the destruction of our environment. As brutal as it sounds, anyone who survives this will most likely regret doing so. Looking at our past, however, we can deduce from the Cold War that even the most radical of the Soviets will hesitate to start such a war. As stated previously, many entities desire war, but we, as humans, must recognize our boundaries and limitations. We have escaped the natural cycle that all other species have failed to do, but there is one thing we can never escape: ourselves.
