Necessity of The Violence
What is the violence? Necessity or great mistake of the humanity? In the last time I often hear about idea, which claims life without the violence. But it's impossible. The violence (regardless of we like it or not) is the natural component of life. We wouldn't be so complicated and perfect organisms now if we refused to the violence in the distant past.
The evolution is based on the violence. To be more precise, evolution builds upon competition, which includes the violence. Predators can't kill victims without physical violence. And if predator stops to kill he starves. And predator will die. So laws of survival demand on fighting and violence.
This is true not only for wild nature, but also for the human society. The career ladder, for instance, consisnts of many stairs. And you may face to someone who already stands on spot, which you need. I'm sure the vast majority won't think about ethical side of this situation and throw competitor down. Not because you don't like him or you want to hurt him. Just because you want to take more benefit.
If you face with a robber on the dark street, what will you do? You will fight and try to hit opponent. At that moment you won't question about the ethical part of violence. So, people can't avoid of the violence, because it's the integral component of the life.
But sometime the violence may be meaningless. For example, when strong people humilate weakers. Only for fun. Such situations demonstrate the ill logic of attackers. Fight or violense requires resource costs (as any acts). And if you spend physical or mental resources in vain, you are very stupid and narrow-minded person. This kind of the violence must be left in the past.
So, we can't avoid the violence, because it's one of the key things for the human development. But people should use the violence more rational, only as an instrument for achiving the goals. And you shouldn't deceive yourself — society or nature are impossible without the violence.

Necessity of Violence
What is violence? Is it a necessity or a great mistake of humanity? Recently I often hear the idea of a life without violence. But that is impossible. Violence, whether we like it or not, is a natural component of life. We wouldn't be so complicated and perfect organisms now if we refused violence in the distant past.Evolution is based on violence. More precisely, evolution builds upon competition, which includes violence. Predators cannot kill their prey peacefully. And if a predator stops killing he starves. And the predator will die. So the laws of survival demand fighting and violence.
This is true not only for wild nature, but also for human society. The career ladder, for instance, consisnts of many steps. And you may face someone who already stands on one which you need. I'm sure the vast majority if us won't think about ethical side of this situation and will throw our competitor down. Not because we hate him or want to hurt him. Just because we want to climb.
If you face with a robber on a dark street, what will you do? You fight and try to hit your assailant. At that moment you di not question the ethical part of violence. So, people can't avoid of violence, because it is an integral component of life.
But sometimes violence may be meaningless. For example, when the strong humilate the weak. Only for fun. Such situations demonstrate the ill logic of attackers. Fights or violence require a cost (as with any act). And if you spend physical or mental resources in vain, you are a very stupid and narrow-minded person.
