Can I Seek Enlightenment in a Capitalist Society?

If you’ve been struggling to navigate the ebbs and flows of capitalism, you’re not alone. The capitalist state often triggers a sense of discontentment in even the most level-headed and sanguine individuals.


However, it’s important to note that disparaging capitalism is not the solution. By doing so, we’re seeking a better system, which doesn’t exist.

Those who wish to overturn the established order and substitute socialism for a capitalist focus are oblivious to the menacing pitfalls of this transition. In actuality, socialism is a wolf in sheep’s clothing as it takes away the liberty of people and surrenders it to the state.

This doesn’t mean that capitalism is untarnished. While it has its fair share of defects, it doesn’t make the process of seeking enlightenment impossible.

In this blog, we’ll dive deeper into the capitalist system, and the dangers of an alternative system like socialism. Continue reading.

1.Would It Be Easier to Seek Enlightenment in a Socialist Society?

According to Creator, “Institutions are only as good as those who run them. When all governments are controlled by interlopers, the seductiveness of power means that those who hold the reins will engage in abuses that may grow to become not only harsh, but even reach the level of being genocidal in their consequences. When all people are corrupted, you can be sure that any institution will be faulty.”

People talk blithely about “unbridled capitalism” as though it needs a bridal, a series of restrictions and limitations, and perhaps punishments. This is certainly an apt description considering how many people wish to overthrow the established order, and have done so in many countries by seizing private property, and especially industry, so it is run by the state and all proceeds go to the central government, mostly to line the pockets of the powerful.

The entire system backfires when the government falls short of supplying everyone’s needs after all. “This is because when a government system creates too broad a safety net, people are disempowered. They no longer wish to work if the government provides the benefits they most need. There is no way to tax earnings to keep the government going. The government cannot even support the functioning of industries, which results in the entire system collapsing at some point,” Creator continued.

In essence, seeking enlightenment in a system that disempowers and demotivates people can become more challenging than anticipated. Unfortunately, any alternative to capitalism will increase the number and height of the hurdles that are placed in front of us.

2.What is the Answer to Capitalism?

The answer to capitalism is not socialism or some other construct, but a kind of hybrid, where human liberty is assured, as is the case through the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. There are some checks and balances in place. It’s important to note that people will still struggle, as they are today, because of impairments and overwhelming liabilities. There must be a collective effort to provide for such individuals through social programs.

However, having the entire economy run by the government is simply not a safe and sustainable solution. When all the money flows through the government, the system is bound to fail, as history has shown us time and again.

The idea of socialism sounds appealing on paper. However, when you dig deeper to understand the agenda that is followed to put it into operation, the destruction and unbridgeable divisions that will inevitably follow become evident.

According to Creator, “The warring factions will become permanently entrenched, which will make society unworkable. The system will cause more harm and wrongdoing, and the problem will grow until the government powers become threatened. People will fall back on killing to maintain order and preserve the reigning power structure. There will be no way to address grievances and right the wrongs, because that will be seen as a threat to the established order and will be crushed. There is no way back from such a system once it is implemented, other than through war and death. This, too, has been borne out again and again in the real world.”

There are ways to keep a balance, and it is the best one can do in a world of corruption where people cannot be relied on to be egalitarian and put humanitarian considerations first and foremost. Any other way to run things, by removing incentives and a reward to the individual for their hard work, creativity, and initiative, will fall apart because it is non-divine and perpetuates a state of imbalance humans will not be able to tolerate.

“The capitalist system can achieve a balanced system of self-reward while seeing to the needs of others along the way. There can be workers who are taxed to serve the needs of all through a government taxation system, if this is done on a reasonable scale so people can earn a living and the people at the top are not too greatly exploiting the workers.

That can be ameliorated through social pressures and democratic reforms, short of abolishing the entire economic system of freedom by surrendering to totalitarianism, which, in the end, serves no one. Even the most powerful elites who line their pockets will have a terrible karmic consequence to pay from their greed and insensitivity to the suffering of others,” Creator concluded.

3. How Can I Get Started?

Seeking enlightenment in a capitalist society is challenging, but not impossible. If you’re looking to heal your wounds and traumas, schedule a Lightworker Healing Protocol session.

How Can I Stop Overthinking and Attain Peace?

a woman feeling anxious and uneasy as she gazes outside the window

No matter how careful you are, the cycle of overthinking and anxiety can start in your mind when you least expect it. The average human has lived 423 lifetimes. While some of these are pleasant, many are tragic, and caused karmic wounds still unhealed.


As our accumulated karmic traumas afflict us, we may overthink things, feel anxious, and even enter a depressive state. Karmic triggers can be extremely dangerous. However, they’re not the only cause behind an overthinking and anxious state of mind. Spirit attachment can also make a person feel mentally and emotionally paralyzed.

If a dark spirit intends to cause harm, the individual may feel drained, confused, and even suicidal. Both karmic triggers and spirit attachment can affect a person’s familial bonds, platonic friendships, romantic relationships, career, academic life, and overall contentment.

If you often find yourself lost in a cycle of overthinking things and struggle with analysis paralysis, make sure you seek enlightenment and divine healing. Use this guide to find out how you can attain peace.

1. Understand What Compels You to Overthink

People often struggle to break free of their tendency to overthink because they’re unsure about why they’re overthinking in the first place. Make sure you know exactly what’s happening.

More often than not, people aren’t in need of positive affirmations, reassurances, and encouragements. While these can bring temporary help, they shouldn’t be considered quick fixes for overthinking. What’s lacking is a deep and fundamental healing of the underlying causes of inner discord.

Wounds go much deeper than people imagine and influence many levels of the being, as well as multiple timelines from their doings that are being lived concurrently, with crosstalk moving to and fro, triggered by emotional events in particular.

Addressing the cause of these wounds will help you heal them through Lightworker Healing Protocol (LHP) sessions.

2.Understand How Complex the Problem Is

Simply getting a good grasp on the cause of overthinking isn’t enough. For some people, the cause may be simple and easy to navigate. For others, it may be deep-rooted, complex, and extremely intricate.

Regardless of the nature of the wound, healing it is imperative. According to Creator, “there may be one fairly minor emotional liability, but there could also be many overlapping energetic influences going on simultaneously and across multiple timelines.”

An LHP session will help you understand the extent and forms of healing that are required.

3.Trust the Process

LHP sessions are designed to help people attain peace and get rid of intrusive thoughts that trigger anxiety and overthinking. Ultimately, make sure you trust the process. A strong willingness to heal will help you achieve it.

How Does the Lightworker Healing Protocol Weed Out Inner Corruption?

a woman distressfully holding her head

Considered one of the worst vices among humans, corruption prevents people from seeking enlightenment and divine healing. After introspecting, some people are able to identify their corrupt state of mind, and work towards undoing it using the Lightworker Healing Protocol.


Unfortunately, many people remain in a perpetual state of oblivion. They are unable to recognize the corruption within their own hearts. As a result, they continue down a path of moral and ethical corruption, which corrodes their life.

Without introspection and recognizing their shortcomings, corrupt people fail to redeem themselves. However, redemption isn’t a far-fetched fantasy; it’s very much possible. In this blog, we’ll help you get a good grasp on how the Lightworker Healing Protocol helps weed out inner corruption. Read on.

Identifying the Cause of Inner Corruption

The Lightworker Healing Protocol is designed to identify the true cause behind human corruption, which may be dark spirit interference, negative karma from past events, or a combination of the two. 9 out of 10 people have spirits attached to them.

Ultimately, no one is immune to spirit attachment. Even the most spiritual people can attract ghosts and earthbound spirits who are lost and confused. Many troubled spirits are looking for a safe haven. However, dark spirits have more sinister intentions.

Spirit attachment can ultimately take a toll on a person by triggering anxiety, fatigue, impulsive behavior, fear, depression, suicidal thoughts, and even alcohol or drug abuse. People lose themselves along the way without even knowing it. They may become corrupt despite not having corrupt intentions.

Similarly, karmic problems can also trigger corruption. By identifying the true cause of corruption, the Lightworker Healing Protocol helps people obtain divine healing. Click here for more insight from Creator.

Breaking the Cycle of Human Corruption

Once significant inner corruption has occurred, it will likely carry over into future incarnations as well. This is because your lives are, in effect, a continuum that is simply punctuated by time-out periods while you are back home in the heavenly realm in between incarnations.

But as soon as you return, you will resume your journey and the Law of Karma will be in play to bring around the energies of what you have launched previously from experiences, both good and bad.

Human corruption should never be taken lightly. The Lightworker Healing Protocol helps weed out corruption and prevents it from carrying over into future incarcerations. It helps break the cycle of human corruption. Click here for a closer look at Creator’s conceptualization of inner corruption.

How Can I Get Started?

If you or a loved one is struggling with a bad situation, we recommend benefiting from a Lightworker Healing Protocol session. Because the actual healing is done by the divine realm, it is ethical to request a session for a troubled loved one even without their permission, just as in praying for someone who is lost and can’t help themselves. Opt for the Personal Clearing session. You can also explore our DWQA page on “human corruption” for more insights.

Pet Anxiety: A Spirit Attack or a Karmic Rumbling?

a pet feeling anxious

According to research, an astounding 70% of dogs feel anxious on average. Contrary to popular belief, pet anxiety isn’t a rarity—it’s actually pretty common. If your pet has been feeling increasingly anxious lately, make sure you get a good grasp on what’s triggering their anxiety. People often correlate pet anxiety to a spirit attack. Is there any truth to this? Or is pet anxiety a case of karma? Let’s dig deeper.


1. What Causes Pet Anxiety?

If your pet feels anxious, you may wonder whether they are sensing something is a threat. In actuality, about 75% of companion animals harbor spirit attachments of some kind. These may be malevolent demonic spirits seeking to cause harm, or most commonly, troubled earthbound human spirits unable to find their way to the light after passing, and your pet is trying to help them. Either way, this is an emotional burden. In fact, a very common cause of illness in pets is their trying to heal a problem of their owner by taking on the negativity.

In addition, pets feel anxious when inner awareness of a karmic dilemma of theirs comes to mind and causes great disturbance. This is because it was most likely an extremely painful and unpleasant episode in another lifetime they experienced directly.

Not only do pets have a strong negative reaction emotionally, but they also take the karmic reminder to heart and consider it an important thing to work on. According to Creator, “this creates a great deal of focused attention, which, in actuality, is of little benefit to them and, in fact, far more destructive.”

This becomes evident in the emotional toll the karmic rumbling takes on pets. The energetic signature of the past trauma is in the akashic record and can be absorbed. As a result, it generates a complementary energetic change within them in the current life.

Click here for more insight into this.

2. How Can I Help Ease My Pet’s Anxiety?

a man comforting his dog

Pets who frequently feel anxious require healing. It’s their way of asking for help. As a pet owner, make sure you don’t dismiss their anxiety, assuming there’s nothing you can do. Instead, recognize it for what it is: a karmic response to a perceived threat.

Once you have a good grasp on what your pet is experiencing, you’ll be able to provide the help they need. The Lightworker Healing Protocol is extremely beneficial for anxious pets. It helps them heal from spirit attacks and traumatic past events that frequently cause distress.

3. Getting Started

The Lightworker Healing Protocol helps heal karmic wounds and trauma. It’s important to note that pets also have spirit problems; these shouldn’t be ignored either. Ongoing anxiety from spirit attacks becomes a long-term karmic issue. When a pet feels anxious, they’re having a karmic problem that needs to be actively worked on to help them regain peace and contentment.

If left unattended, karmic influences can make pets feel increasingly anxious and perturbed. Ultimately, your pet’s mental health will suffer. Their energy levels will go down and they’ll become more withdrawn and restrained. This is because their past wounds are occupying their mind and causing severe pain. The more frequent and intense the anxiety attacks, the deeper the karmic wounds.

Start undoing the damage by scheduling a Lightworker Healing Protocol session for your pet. As your pet undergoes spiritual healing, their karmic wounds will begin to heal. For more insight, explore Creator’s take on common animal issues.

Is Eliminating Hypocrisy Necessary for Divine Healing?

a man introspecting

Considered one of the worst vices among humans, hypocrisy can instantly make someone fall from grace in the eyes of friends, family members, or even strangers on social media. Hypocritical people can be easily identified. No matter how hard they try to put on a façade, their true self becomes apparent once the shiny exterior begins to wear off.


While hypocritical people hurt others, they ultimately hurt themselves the most. In essence, one cannot seek spiritual enlightenment and divine healing without actively undoing the convoluted knots of hypocrisy in their heart.

In this blog, we’ll dive deeper into the very nature of hypocrisy and how it rots one’s mind, soul, heart, and existence. What’s the Creator’s perspective? And how can a hypocritical person break the vicious cycle of hypocrisy? Read on.

1. How Can I Identify Hypocrisy?

When people become self-righteous and consider their opinions, beliefs, views, and postulations to be the “absolute truth,” they dive deeper into the murky waters of hypocrisy. As they place their standpoint on a golden pedestal, they disparage others who think differently.

Their hypocrisy then turns into condescension. By patronizing others, they feel a sense of power. Anyone who disagrees with them is perceived as flawed and of lesser substance and value.

In actuality, hypocritical people are putting on a façade of moral excellence. Once you dig deeper, you quickly realize that the way they live, act, think, and communicate is a contradiction in every definition of the word.

Click here for a closer look at Creator’s take on hypocrisy.

2. How Does Hypocrisy Slow Down or Completely Thwart the Search for Divine Healing?

People often reach positions of leadership by adopting hypocrisy as a working tool. They maintain a public persona that appears to be an exalted one so they can claim to possess all the virtues one could want. They tirelessly try to prove their strength of character and get a loud round of applause from others.

When the camera is turned off and the curtain is peeled back, these people are revealed to be masterful liars, cheaters, and manipulators. They are able to get away with all kinds of criminal behavior because they aren’t capable of feeling guilty.

This lack of guilt is the hallmark of their inner corruption. It is, as Creator highlights, “the characteristic of sociopaths when there is an extreme absence of conscience.”

Needless to say, these people struggle to embark on the journey to divine healing because they’re ultimately narcissistic to the core. They’re not interested in exploring the hidden truths of the world. They’re simply interested in putting on a front and immaculately maintaining it.

Click here for a closer look at Creator’s perspective on this.

3. Breaking Free of Hypocrisy

Hypocrisy is extremely common. Fathers, mothers, siblings, sons, daughters, partners, close friends, and relatives can be hypocrites. There’s also a possibility that we have remnants of hypocrisy in our own hearts.

Until we identify hypocrisy within ourselves and strive to actively undo it, we can’t possibly seek spiritual enlightenment. Explore Creator’s answers to common questions about hypocrisy by clicking here.

If you’re struggling to come to terms with this, reach out to Creator today. At Get Wisdom, we’re committed to helping you embark on the path to spiritual enlightenment and live a meaningful life in alignment with the divine principles for living.

The Most Mysterious Places in the World

People think there’s mystery up there in the stars—when there’s a lot more mystery right here, in our world, on our very planet.


The Ancient Stones of Puma Punku and Tiwanaku, Bolivia

There’s just something about old stones being carved into unbelievably marvelous structures—like the ones we find in Puma Punku and Tiwanaku, Bolivia. Carved at perfect and sharp right angles, with perfectly round holes, how did ancient humans ever build structures so geometrically perfect? What tools did they have that could rival even our engineering marvels?

We hate to break it to you, but it probably wasn’t humans. It’s a complex created by Anunnaki extraterrestrials, thought to have been built when they resided in Mesopotamia—present-day Iraq.

Bangarh

the haunted Bangarh Fort in India

Famously known as the most haunted place in all of India (and India is huge!), Bangarh is an ancient fort shrouded in mystery. In fact, it is supposed to be such a dangerous place that visitation between sunset and sunrise is strictly prohibited—by the government of India, no less. If the government is paranoid enough to stop you from going into a stone and rock fortress, something serious is definitely going on.

According to one legend, the fort (and everything around it) was cursed by a “tantric” (a kind of magician), who tried and failed to make the princess of Bangarh fall in love with him.

Highgate Cemetery

Visit gothic England in all its glory—or don’t, since it is considered to be one of the most haunted places in England, rivaled only by the Tower of London. If you were to visit, however, you’d think you had just been transported right into one of Mrs. Radcliffe’s gothic novels. The whole place is as English as crumpets and scones: oak trees and lichens, moss and tombstones. The gothic architecture does nothing to alleviate the illusion.

Visitors have reported all sorts of unusual goings-on here: from apparitions to vampires.

We’ll say one thing, though: it’s a choice location for vampire hunters.

Area 51

There was no way we were going to end this list without mentioning the most mysterious place in the United States—or what was formerly a mysterious place. Ever since people threatened to storm Area 51—that would have been a sight—a lot has come to light.

Situated in the middle of nowhere—a.k.a the Nevada Desert—Area 51 was once the CIA’s worst-kept secret. Locals had been whispering of alien research and strange aircraft for years, but officials had gone on pretending it just didn’t exist. Well, as they say: the absence of evidence isn’t the evidence of absence.

And so, after the rumors started getting really out of hand, the CIA finally came out and admitted that Area 51, indeed and in fact, exists.

Black Magic and Suicide—It’s More Common Than You Think

There has been an alarming increase in the number of suicides in the United States over the past couple of decades. Between the years 2000 and 2016, there was a 30% increase in the rate of death by suicide in the country with a 50% increase of suicide rates among women and girls. Suicide has also been among the 10 leading causes of deaths in the United States for the past several years.

Common Causes Of Suicide

When someone takes their own life, the loss can be felt by many people, especially among close friends and family. Death by suicide is very difficult for many people to process and the trauma it causes among the loved ones can be quite deep. There are many reasons that can trigger a person to take their own life, especially if they are struggling with mental health problems, addiction, and financial issues. Other causes include relationship problems, environmental factors, and easy access to lethal means such as firearms, drugs, and poisonous substances. There is also a link between family history and previous attempts of suicide and a person trying to commit suicide again.

Suicide And Black Magic

While the reasons mentioned above seem logical and probable, there are often other forces at work that cause a person to self-harm and reach the level where they feel like there is no way out except ending their life. Not many people are aware, but curses and black magic play a huge role in causing people to reach an extreme state that leads to self-murder. Although black magic is more ingrained in the South Asian Societies and other Asian locations, it is also quite prevalent in the western countries.

One of the most significant suicides that indicates the use of dark spells and black magic as the root cause was that of Sylvia Plath in 1963. According to Al Alvarez’s autobiography, Sylvia and her husband used to dabble in dark magic to inspire her creativity, but it came at a terrible price that cost Sylvia her marriage her creativity, and ultimately her life.

We have repeatedly seen cases where people have used occult, black magic, and witchcraft for personal gain and found nothing but despair due to the malignant forces they played with. A study conducted by the University of Massachusetts revealed that people who dabbled in dark magic experienced restlessness and the feeling of being cut off from the community, which only increased their desire to give up their life.

The Road To Spiritual Healing

One of the biggest reasons why people turn to black magic and experience feelings of despair is because their spirit is wounded. They are searching for the hidden truth that will help them get started on their journey to spiritual healing which will ultimately lead them to a better life and help them avoid feeling broken and leaning toward suicide.

If you are seeking the hidden truth and want to learn the divine principles of living, get in touch with us at Get Wisdom and let us guide you to the right path and heal your broken spirit. Our experienced healers provide divine healing sessions, advanced energy treatment, and help you discover the karmic causes for illness that is causing you despair.

History of Satanic Panic

Satanic Panic sounds like a harmless rhyme—before you Google it. Although, if you wish to look it up, Reddit is (always!) the superior source of information. Satanic Panic was a widespread mass panic—and it might have started with child murder.


Did the West Memphis Panic Have Anything to Do with it?

For once, the timelines do match. The West Memphis Three were convicted in 1994. The gist of it? Three teenagers were arrested, prosecuted, and sentenced for the brutal murders of three little boys in 1993. One of these teens was sentenced to death, the others to life imprisonment and hard labor. You might think the punishment befits the crime—but that’s because you wrongly believe Damien Echols or his two buddies had anything to do with the 1993 murder at all.

Arkansas prosecutors, jury, and judges proved themselves to be packed to the brim with bias with this one. Despite a lack of evidence, the three teenagers were sentenced because they came off as “Satanists.”

The most they did was dress like Marilyn Manson and listen to death metal. Imagine going to death row over Opeth.

Justice at Last

As in the Ron Williamson case, justice for Damien and his friends came from a society that calls itself the “Innocence Project.” These people—Barry Sheck, in particular—have saved countless wrongly convicted death row inmates from the gallows by proving how DNA evidence dismisses their case. And so they did for the West Memphis Three. Sadly for Damien and his friends, their prime years—18 of them—were wasted in prison before they could be released.

But, coming back to the original question: What did Satanic Panic have to do with the West Memphis Three?

Everything.

How Paranoia Works

Not only does paranoia make people panic for no reason, but it also destroys the lives of others—such as the West Memphis Three. Confessions made in the West Memphis Trial prove just how biased and opposed to a fair trial the judge and jury were, just because they thought these boys were a threat. Why? Because they wore kohl and had tattoos—and listened to loud music.

It was a mass media scare gone wrong—and gave us many lifelong lessons in its wake.

You see, in the 80s and the 90s, there was mass hysteria being created around the idea of “Satanists.” The general consensus was that these Satanists roam around us, that they are out to destroy the fabric of civilized society and other such bizarre beliefs. “Satanic ritual abuse” was a term that was thrown around a lot, and slowly but gradually, panic became the way of life.

The timing was perfect for it: It was as if the stars had all aligned in the right order for this to happen.

How it Happened

Earlier, in 1972, Anton LaVey had published a book called “Satanic Rituals.” This book presented to the world the idea that satanic rituals were an everyday occurrence and quite normal in America. The Jonestown Massacre, in 1978, then showed the natural ramifications of a violent death cult. And then came the 80s with all those serial killers—many of whom performed ritualistic kills, such as the Zodiac, the BTK, Bundy, Dahmer, the Night Stalker, Gacy, and the Hillside Stranglers.

The stage was set, the conditions met—all it took was a spark. That came with the 1993 murders of three little boys in West Memphis.

The Real Villains

It goes without saying that there are real monsters out there—but it isn’t goth teenagers who contribute to noise pollution. It’s what’s out there—the sinister forces that encourage and propagate things like Satanic Panic benefit from infighting among humans.

Was it Really Saltwater Crocodiles in the Battle of Ramree Island?

In 1945, when soldiers were caught in the thick of the Second World War, a large troop of Japanese soldiers found themselves being pushed back by the British. This happened in Rangoon—and the Japanese soldiers realized that they had no option but to pull back.


Fortunately for them, they found that the area was a massive ditch of swamps and marshes, where they could easily hide. Was this battle, which had been ongoing for six weeks, finally coming to an end?

It did come to an end—but not in the way either party of soldiers was expecting.

Nightfall

As soon as the sun went down and the Japanese settled in those muddy marshes for the night, well-hid from the enemy, there was a strange shift in the air. The British felt it—and the Japanese felt it with even greater alarm. Soon enough, the British army had to contend with a night full of screams and shrieks that felt like they came straight from hell. It sounded like a massive troop of about a thousand hard-trained soldiers were all being tortured at the same time.

Had the Japanese walked into a death trap? Most certainly. But this trap was unlike any mines the British could have placed before they isolated the group of a thousand Japanese soldiers.

It was something far, far more sinister.

So What was in the Marshes?

Was it a monster? Yes, but not just one, but a whole bask of them. Bask is the collective term used for a group of crocodiles—so go figure.

The marshes were brimming with the largest reptiles in the world: the saltwater crocodiles. It is a croc that puts both the dreaded Nile Crocodile and the marsh crocs of South Asia to shame. Growing up to 22 feet long or more, saltwater crocs can reach a whopping 1000 pounds in weight. Their bite force is one of the strongest in the world—rivaled only by larger animals such as hippos and Great Whites.

And what happens when a bask of saltwater crocs meets unassuming Japanese soldiers walking into their territory, smelling nicely of blood and guts? Dinner. That’s what happens.

Even the battle-weary and hardened Japanese soldiers (remember, this is the same army that annihilated Nanking to the ground in the same war) couldn’t survive that attack. It has since become known as the worst croc attack in world history.

What the Survivors Said

Bruce Stanley Wright, a survivor of the Battle of Ramree Island but who was not on the Japanese side, actually wrote an account of that dreadful night. In his account, he says he heard “scattered rifle shots” in what was a “pitch black” swamp. That means he couldn’t see what was causing the commotion, but he could hear the agonized Japanese and their rifles going off.

Some 20 soldiers came out of that swamp, bloody and hurt, and were taken prisoner by the British forces almost immediately. Since then, many have contested the popular idea that saltwater crocs ate 980 Japanese soldiers in one night.

It would have been hard for one crocodile to eat one man—and it would have been harder for 980 crocodiles or more to be present in a congested swamp. We must also take into account the fact that these weren’t unarmed, untrained people the crocs were supposedly attacking. These were soldiers from one of the most feared empires on Earth, and they had weapons. We knew their rifles went off. How come these bullets never hit a reptile?

Or Was There Something Else in the Swamp?

There are two facts in this account. The first is that there are saltwater crocs on Ramree Island. The second is that 20 out of 1000 soldiers survived that attack. Oh, and there’s also the third: the British won.

These are also facts: no amount of reptiles can eat 980 grown men in one night. There were no croc casualties. Nobody saw the crocs because it was “too dark.”

Maybe it’s just us—but there’s a good possibility something else was present there that night too. You can discuss this and other hidden truths in greater depth and detail by joining the Get Wisdom Forum.

Why Do Humans Fight Wars?

From the World Wars to the current invasions of various countries in the world, humans have never shied away from war. In fact, it was war that encouraged us to develop rockets and missiles that later took us to space. It was war that allowed us to develop sonar technology that later helped us break through the limitations of everyday life—that is how, in fact, GPS came into existence.


So while there can be an argument about how much war has or hasn’t helped us, there’s always this question that needs to be answered: are we built to fight?

Is it Instinctual?

Whether or not you believe in the Darwinian ideal does not matter. Chimpanzees, like our ancestors, have as much a propensity to fight as the figures of Abel and Cain. In both accounts, we are built as beings who have an in-built knack for destruction. In fact, researchers will tell you that that’s not all—we also have a history of devouring each other, and that too, literally.

It would be safe to say that yes, we do have an instinctual desire to fight—there is something called a “fight or flight” instinct in all of us; it is naturally ingrained. But just because we can do something doesn’t mean we should.

Could it be Something Else?

While there’s no denying that it could be something else, we must really ask ourselves this: are we as humans full of nothing but contempt for each other? Do we not believe in the power of love—or is kindness no longer a thing in our world?

None of that is true. Yes, we have fought with each other and continue to do so these days, but humans have also proved, over the years, that we are made of stronger elements. If there are oppressors amongst us, there are also rebels. If there are fascists among us, there are also those that resist. We are a mixed bag—and many of us realize that infighting has never helped us with anything.

So who does it help?

Think about it. Suppose you had an enemy who really wanted to defeat you, but all their attempts were thwarted because you put on a united front. In that case, what would they do? They could turn back and leave, but our collective enemies are not like that. They have had their eyes on us since forever. They benefit from our infighting because we become too busy caring about what’s going on out there.
