Very well said. I was just today speaking to my husband about how sad it is that the young are recruited into the military due to their natural state of being easily programmed to do what is wanted of them. The "personal fable" mentality (the age when you think , "that can't happen to me", and coming from a home environment in which you are accustomed to an authority figure (parents/guardians)telling you what to do and believe. He became angry. (he had joined the military young). He said I was judging him. I am still trying to understand that. Yes we (as a collective society) are, teaching violence. This is the most important aspect of our behavior that needs to be addressed. Not anyone is excepted from this. Not me. Any one of us needs to minutely look at every aspect of our lives and recogize where we bring in violence. If your wish is to rid the world of it; eliminate every instance of that which you recognize. Do not pass it on.
