We do not know who
made the first boat or calculated the length of the year, but we know all
about our killers and destroyers. We raise statues of them simply because
they fought bravely. But even animals fight, so do savages. To fight is not be
civilized. Moreover, there are other ways of settling quarrels among men or
nations. So really civilized people have been those who brought peace and
happiness to the mankind. They have been prophets, saints, doctors,
inventors and discoverers. They have been truly great since instead of
inflicting pain and hardships upon humanity they have healed their wounds.
Instead of killing, they are really civilized and deserve our attention and
respect.
