The entire, exclusive reason you exist is because we as a species chose non violence.
Just think about what you said. How does that make any sense? The reason we exist is because our ancestors chose violence. Name any place in the world that didn’t have to protect themselves with violence.
The reason the recent generations in developed countries have been protected from violence is because of past violence, the threat of future violence, and current proxy violence.
Kinda sad that this is the world you live in. There is kindness out there. That is what makes us human .
I’m sorry, what? Living in reality is happiness. Pretending the world is what it is not is depressing because one day you’ll have to come to terms with reality and it’ll shatter you. Explain to me how your country has come into existence and remains peaceful (assuming it’s peaceful) without violence. I’m not saying peace doesn’t exist, but it’s yin and yang. The world isn’t flowers and rainbows and cannot possibly be that as our species currently exists today. If you believe that, then you are living in a bubble and willfully ignorant of human nature when peace or survival is threatened. Everything is violent when it has to be. You have the privilege of being peaceful because of the threat of violence. We’re still just animals when it really comes down to it.
