Our world always seems to be at war, but why? Why do these wars start, why do people do the things they do to each other? How can we prevent them? I started to learn more about war and rulers lately trying to understand the nature of the beast. I drew this image after learning more about Genghis Kahn and the Mongolian Empire.

I have found no good answers or reasoning. The more I study empires the more I think small nomadic tribes that lived off the land in harmony with nature are the closest to getting this whole thing right.
