Are we too close to our primordial roots that senseless violence is an accepatable behaviour?

Answer 1

Our 'primordial roots' is our essential nature and is as active in the Buddhist as in the Christian and Muslim. The concept violence and notions of violence are two different things and its culpability and forgive-ability differ accordingly, but a persons aptness or likelihood to be violent is a completely differently determination and not for its form but for its failure to happen in an other. Most often violence does not happen because the would be violent person fails their choice for violence for their self's morality.


The Will is positive, the Judgment is negative.

Answer 2

I don't believe this is the reason for senseless violence. I personally, don't believe our primordial roots are violent.

Over population, over stimulation, over materialism, over desensitvity, are reasons for violence.

And the media is a nasty component that cannot be overlooked.

A tree cannot live without its roots. Even if it hides it under the earth, the roots will always be part of the tree...so is violence...and so is love. It's a matter of self control that makes the difference. Which one would you want to prevail?It's a day to day moment to moment decision

Answer 4

Hi, yes, we accept it now as norm- look if you hear in a bar- that "someone" battered their girlfriend- l have heard loads of people say "Oh- she deserves it"- or "she must have done some thing wrong"- or "leave them to it, it happens all the time"- women stay in relationships where there is violence, men too- their is no stigma attached to the batterer- that's what a sick world this is-lv Jo xx
