“Given the right conditions, people will lash out.”
EXACTLY. If we remove the greatest incentives to violence, people will be less likely to lash out. If people are not exposed to constant violence, if violence is not promoted on television and in our culture, people will be less likely to lash out.

I’m a realist at heart and I don’t expect that the world will just be some utopian love fest with no more wars if we take more peaceful avenues. I do think that the more equitable things become, the less violence that people are exposed, the less likely warring does become.

If we spent the time and effort we spend on warring on peace strategies and conflict transformation strategies instead, I think we would have an incredibly different world. Culture does change, and as long as we allow a culture of war to wage supreme– it will.

This is human nature, a part of every one of us.

I am a peaceful man, but a realist.

Given the right conditions, people will lash out. It could be anything from witnessing the torture or rape of a fellow human to being a victim or perpetrator of crimes listed above.

I think they refer to this as evil, and mankind has had issues with this since the beginning. I commend your efforts, but doubt that people who are causing these abominations will read something such as this and take it to heart.

Love cannot be logically implemented. It has to be nurtured and that is not always a guarantee.

very true indeed… it is up to us now to stop this on-going atrocities against humanity…. Even today people are dying in Iraq, Palestine and even in my home Pakistan.This signals that the end is near but most importantly the time has come to wake up and stand against all this.
