Is Bloodshed inevitable

Is bloodshed inevitable in a conflict? By human nature, I do believe that bloodshed becomes inevitable. If you look at the past, it has ended many conflicts. I do not feel however, that it must be inevitable. People find themselves in a situation where they feel that the only way out is bloodshed, but if they use their heads, there is no need for bloodshed. If we look at our story about Gurra, we see extremes in both races. There are the white men who feel that shooting some of the aborigines will make a difference and teach them a lesson. There is also the leaders of the aboriginal war counsel that feel that the only way to maintain their way of life is to fight for what they once had. But on both sides there are the people that can see beyond the material and see a way to settle it with out fighting, Gurra and the young cattle man. The sad thing is that the ones in charge are the ones that crave the fighting and see it as the only solution. That is when bloodshed becomes inevitable. When the level headed people sit down and talk about what is going on, there is no fighting. When those in charge think about all that they often imagine are done to them, they see red and the only way they can see to end it is through bloodshed. In my view then, bloodshed is inevitable because we, as humans, make it so. If everyone thought like Gurra, the world would be a kinder place.
