Question

2. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions given below: War is a cancer of mankind. As the cancer cells don't preserve themselves by destroying the body which they inhabit, so are the nations, they destroy the whole super structure of which they are parts. Consider cancer cells and non cancer cells in the human body. The normal cells are aimed at reproducing and functioning in a way that is beneficial to the body. Cancer cells, on the other hand, spread in a way that threatens and ultimately destroys the whole body. The aims of cancer cells is to spread throughout the body, to conquer all the normal cells destroy not only all rival cells, in their ruthless biological warfare, but also destroy the larger organization the body itself signing their own suicide warrant. The same is true of war, especially in the modern world. Nations being ignorant of the fact like cancer cells destroy not only its enemies but also the whole super structure of which it is a part and thus eventually they defeat themselves. Nations live in a state of anarchy, not in a state of law. And like cancer cells nations do not know that their ultimate self interest lies in preserving the health and harmony of the whole body i.e. community of man, for if that is mortally wounded then no nation and mankind will live in this conquest.
