People should understand that war is "part of human society", whether mythical or sensory; it is above all death and “gross human cruelty” (Hedges 26, 23). Chris Hedges separates mythic reality from sensory reality in his essay "War is a Force that Gives Us Meaning", explaining that "in mythical war we imbue events with meanings they do not have" and that “in sensory reality, we see events for what they are.” are" (21). In one of this year's films "Letters from Iwo Jima" directed by Clint Eastwood, the sensory reality of World War II is shown through the perspective of the Japanese soldiers who had to guard the island of Iwo Jima until American troops completely destroy them. Governments paint an illusion and propagandize the mythical war for their citizens in order to win a war. contradictory to the desires of society which, according to Gilbert's essay "Reporting Live from Tomorrow", are achieved by the transmission of false beliefs such as when "we must believe that children and money bring happiness, that these. [things] be true or not”; in this case, false beliefs add up to a good outcome for society, improving its economy and population in general (222). same transmission of false beliefs such as ethnic stereotypes, but each war results in some destruction of society. However, it is important to recognize that while there are wars that are fought simply because of the stupidity and cruelty of the government; some wars, no matter how cruel, could be fought for something more. But whatever the reason for a conflict and no matter how much misunderstanding between the two sides, people should understand that we are all human beings in a war that brings death, and that we are all more alike than different even though we have spent so much time building the wall that separates us. Mythical war is a lie, a false belief that contradicts all intellectual thought. We go to war to die – this is raw reality or “sensory war”. On the one hand, mythical war “allows us to make sense of chaos and violent death,” on the other, it paints a seductive illusion for the people. The belief in being better, different and fairer than the enemy country goes hand in hand with Gilbert's theory that "we do not always think of ourselves as superior, but we almost always think of ourselves as unique »." (229).
