Who? ... No - this is not a person - this means not to be violent. It's normal not to be violent.
Wow I am not sure I could disagree with you more. I think violence is completely natural.
Ah - Konrad Lorenz: "Das sogenannte Böse" (="The so called evil"). We need agressions - that's true. That's maybe why "labora" is also important. And for an animal violence is indeed completly normal - they sometimes don't even know what cruel violence is - they are just simple violent and cruel without any bad intention. Not so human beings - we are spiritual entities. We are part of the universality of life. We are existing in greater dimensions - not only like animals.
Now let me clarify that by saying that in most nations violence is frowned upon unless necessary,
Hmm - hope I understood this sentence.
but if you look at the history of mankind it has been a very violent history all the way back to the dawn of mankind.
A part of the history of mankind is violence. On the other side: Sometimes lived people hundreds of years in peace before suddenly came some violent idiots.
The animal kingdom is absolutely violent.
The what? ...
Want to know the most violent person of all? Mother nature...
Good grieve "mother nature" is an allegory not a person. The power and the dimension and the complexity of [mo]the[r] nature is gigantic - and without this all we could not live. But life itselve is ... unbelievable easy hurtable. We are only a wisp of wind.
that is one cold hearted serial killer.
Nature is nature. If you fall from a high building then the gravity will destroy your body in the moment when your accelerated reference system suddenly stops. But without nature - how to build a high building - how to build a body?
There is nothing we can do as a human species that could even come close to the death and destruction that bitch has wrought.
Now the allegory "mother nature" becomes important again. You are poisening your own soul by calling mother nature "bitch".
Now I agree with you that the world would be a much better place if we didn't kill.
It's not my motivation to make the world to a better place. As far as I know everyone created new hells who tried to do so. I'm just simple living in the best of all possible worlds - and within this world I learned and changed some things in my life with the help of some other people and the help of god.
Unfortunately, that's just not what our history as a species suggests is realistic.
Our history is a nice history but also a history of criminals. The criminals are on the monuments.
I would certainly not murder someone, but if someone breaks into my house and threatens to harm my children or rape my wife, I am going to shoot that person until he is dead or at least until he is completely, unquestionably down for the count.
I would do the same - but in the USA lots of people are also murdering with the wrong excuse [extended] "self-defense". And in the USA some states are murdering with the wrong excuse "death penalty". In Germany in 2013 for example the police - all policemen in Germany together in the whole year - shot 42 times on persons so 8 persons died. By the way: In the moment are dying more persons in Germany because of the [american] fear on terrorism than because of real terrorism.
I applaud your sentiments and I wish we lived in a world where that was possible, but unfortunately I respectfully disagree. There is a time to kill.
No. That's wrong. God allows not to kill. If someone defends himselve and/or others it can happen that an attacker is dying as a result of the defense. Sure kills someone in this case a person - but this is a kind of boomerang-effect. Gods advise "Thou shalt not kill" is not really hurted in such a case.
