2. Materialistic point of view
If you see a human being as a physical being, you will take your heart to seek money, food, sleeping and sexual desires as much as you want. This apparently destroys yourself, your family, your friends and all. As a same way, if you consider this world consisted of material, you will see a lot of conflicts over lands, natural resources, food, interest and so on. As mentioned above, physical matter has a nature to expand itself unlimitedly. If you want to lead a happy and secure life, you need to separate yourself from your physical being completely.
If I touch on the relation between a war and a materialisitic viewpoint, we should keep in mind, before and during WW2, that Japan excessively sought interest in Manturia and energy sources and they stormed into war to battle with world. In other words, they were obsessed with pursuing those material. Very unfortunately, this atrocity caused deep anger from neighbor countries and it still has a bad impact on security in East Asia.
More than that, you can say that many wars and struggles being waged in the world today are fights over land. A typical example is a battle over Jerusalem. Not only Judaism and Christianity think it a holly land, but Islam does.
Therefore, as long as materialistic point of view is dominated, we cannot feel easy in terms both of physically and mentally.
