My sense of obligation to the universe was lifted. But at the same time, I felt even less of a sense of purpose. Even more of a sense of the futility and pointlessness of life. Which brings me back to the desire to find something that I could manage to believe might matter. I disagree with that one.
Violence is in our nature.
And more importantly, trying to stop fighting is an excellent example of trying to fix the symptom instead of the cause, which obviously won't work. If they can't manage to figure out how to survive on their own, allow them to do the honerable thing and do the gene pool a favor. Similar to war, it is human nature to be uncomfortable with that which is different. Even if all races manage to mix completely homogenously, we've still got plenty of other differences to fight over. The situation created itself out of a need.
