Violence
Violence
Sitting down in the park, I watched as the kids munched on the candy. It was a fun fair and there were all kinds of activities going on. Suddenly while these activities were going on there was a big bang.Two boys on the ground had begun to fight, for some trivial reason. The crowd gathered around and stopped the fight. The two fighters were separated and then were thrown out of the event.
Violence - truly a part of our nature and will always be. We are . It pops up now and then, and we cannot ignore it. Its that feeling in our blood that wants to get physical.
Aggression has been present throughout time as we go down the ages of past centuries, and will be present till the end of time.
The hippie revolution was born in the seventies and talked about peace and free love. During that time, violence had taken a downturn and was considered a negative force. People had brought into the love game and the emphasis on violence was very less.
Which brings me to the point of whether we require violence in society. The hippies were right, I guess with the love gimmick. Talking about believing in changing the world with peace and no religion. They have suceeded to an extent, but there is still no peace in the world. Wars are ravaging as ever, and religions are flourishing .
But is violence required in a civilized society? Todays society frowns on violence and has given it a place in society, as an entertainment and combat sport. The men with an extra dose of testosterone find themselves in these places and also tryout for the army. Within society, there are laws and the police department that take care of civilians.
So everything is tailormade in many countries for modern society. So protective and good. The benefits of living in a country with good minds. However when we look around the globe, we see a lot of economies. Some are good and some are not, and it has been recorded throughout history that the underpriveleged economies are the ones that create havoc to the priveleged economies.
The men who live in comfort tend to become soft like lambs. Cant be a lamb when are lions scratching at the door.
What if these lions destroy all your laws and defences? And then get into your house
and break it down piece by piece. What would you do then? what would you resort to ............ yes, the answer is violence.
So yes, though breaking of laws and defences is a very tough venture, if it happens, violence would be the option.
St. Augustine in his text tells solidiers to be content with their pay. Which means violence cannot be eliminated. It is going to be a part of society no matter what and while artists paint and singers sing, the man at the border firing the gun will be doing his thing
