That concept turns up in the Koran too (article here). War is a consequence that humans have faced from the beginning, and so a handy metaphor for the constant struggle against the enemy within (temptation to do wrong), but it's caused no end of suffering when taken literally. Whoops, wrong verb tense. It causes no end of suffering when taken literally.
