Violence is just a natural part of our world, even at the cellular level.

The entire, exclusive reason you exist is because we as a species chose non violence.

Just think about what you said. How does that make any sense? The reason we exist is because our ancestors chose violence. Name any place in the world that didn’t have to protect themselves with violence.

The reason the recent generations in developed countries have been protected from violence is because of past violence, the threat of future violence, and current proxy violence.
