Whatever

War

I'm trying to make sense of this and maybe someone can help out here. Why is it, that we humans feel compelled to kill each other? Is there any other species that kills its' own as much as we do? OK, I can think of a few that do so for the sake of domintation or self-preservation. So I guess we are no different than some of these animals. If that's the case, why were we given these incredible brains and the ability to feel compassion and empathy if we were just going to kill each other off anyway? One would think we could use these gifts to find a better way to inter-relate. But I guess not since throughout history, we have killed one another. And amazingly, we often do it under the guise of love---love of one's god or country or some other idealology.
If you happened to stumble on this and have some brilliant answers, please share them with the rest of the world before we kill everyone off!
