Violence is neither good or bad. It is a useful survival strategy. In our modern times where violence is denied expression, unless it is promoted by the state, male effectiveness is diminished and females gain the upper hand.
You eliminate the option of violence and you diminish fear and even a child becomes equal to an adult male. Only the systems reserves the right to use threats and violence, including murder. All others are equalized as subordinates to it. Valued by how well they adhere to its authority.
Animals are killed daily for your sustenance and your culture, your standard of life, is built on exploiting and dominating other lands, which involves all forms of violence. The fact that you're kept at a distance from it does not absolve you of responsibility. The myth of innocence is attached to the myth concerning the sanctity of life.
Life is expendable. Life feeds on life.
The demand for respectful, polite, humble, selfless behavior and the demonizing of violence, selfishness, egotism, arrogance, pride and hatred from a species evolved to be all of these things and more, leads to the necessity of providing surrogate avenues to defuse many socially unwanted human tendencies and makes it imperative to attempt to control them through moral and religious systems based, again, on a system of promises and threats and to promote socially acceptable human tendencies through ideals, values, coercion and rewards.
Violence is necessary...Violence is useful...Violence is Golden
Or do you dream of a world with no wars, no hunger, no violence, no toil, no suffering, no pain, no injustice?
"A natural world is a world of war
A natural man is a warrior"
