To ask why we fight is to ask why the leaves fall. It is in their nature. Perhaps, there is a better question. Why do we fight? To protect Home, and Family… To preserve Balance, and bring Harmony. For my kind, the true question is: What is worth fighting for?
Before I start this, we can assume that in this quote, the word 'fight' and 'fighting' is referring to physical violence, not the general act of resistance. This quote comes from the popular game World of Warcraft. Specifically, it's DLC, Mists of Pandaria. This expansion introduces a new race, Pandas, and their calm style of life. But this quote goes against the main basis of Pacifism. If it is part of your nature of fight, then you will never truly find peace. We are never forced to fight or kill. We can always refuse or find a peaceful method. Fighting may be the easiest method, and it might be the best choice, but it is never the ONLY choice. As for the second half of the quote, fighting will not protect you. It will make you a target. Making peace, creating deals, and getting friends will protect you. Dipomacy needs to be preferred over War. Physical violence should not be seen as anyone's nature. It should be seen as a corruption that take our hearts when anger is let free.
