The problems in the world come when we are taught to believe we are significant or insignificant relative to others.
Now some might argue that the need to compete proves me wrong.
I would push back to observe that there is a big difference between competition involving sports teams and warfare involving armies.
Competition within agreed boundaries and rules helps people strive to do their best while also enabling competitors to potentially become great friends. We play off each other and strive to improve in all aspects of our lives inspired by those who lived before us. We become who we are as a result of learning great life lessons from others because fundamentally, we are all floating down the same river of life TOGETHER.
War is entirely different. War is a way to grow in power at the expense of others and no one strives to do this unless he or she believes they are superior creatures over the mass of humanity.
The belief in God is the great equalizer.
We are significant because God says so and also, together, as insignificant as the dust from whence we came and shall one day return, regardless our status in this life.
