I know that everything people do is in order to dominate. Even this subject, is violent, and each of us want to share his knowledge and explanation in order to feel superior than his fellow two-legged animal.
I just wanted your opinion and answer to my question because sometimes I think civilized people are jealous of the primitives behaviours because those last display a pure animal behaviour that has been controled on the civilized one who's compelled to renounce on his impulses.
I qualify the hate toward black here as a frustration of white own agressivity impulse that never take it pure shape, due to civilization, but always canalized, as you said, in other form like sport which is socially accepted. Or toward themselves which is also socially accepted. I think that deep inside, the white would love to still own his animal instinct, as pure as it is, but once renouced to it and can't bring it back. In what I'm saying, sexuality goes the same as agressivity.
interesting. The problem with blatant physical violence is that is forbidden. Controlled -in the interest of the group, offer and demand- violence is accepted thru occupation, thru "games" that "entertain" viewers, but not in a fast food , or at work.
Most religions and philosophies came to the conclusion that controlling impulses or ignoring them, fighting them back, is the best thing to do for a longer survival of the individual and of he group as a whole. This self control prevent from going into the extremes, and to be balanced and adapted. It is supposed to bring peace, tranquility to individuals and the group as a whole if all individuals control themselves following the same goals.
Still, there is suffering. Because not everyone can bring or get as much as others, and everyone is able to compare themselves, the "quality of their survival" to the neighbour, colleague's own quality of survival. Even if we somewhat control ourselves and there s a semblant of cohesion and control in a society, there is still pain, and suffering.
If you want to completely end suffering and pain of all living beings, you d have to end their lives. This is probably the ultimate limit of reasoning, of the search for ultimate and eternal peace for all living things. As long as you re alive, you cant be at peace. Because life is all about struggle, and war. Rest is followed by conflict, and prepares for the next conflict. It is the purpose of rest. Some people are alive and "at peace". The most powerful, violent, dangerous ones, at the top of the hierarchy, of the pecking order. But to get and stay there, they still have to be violent. Psychologically, by using other people to do the physical job.
