Today I was at a party and a certain person, who has not gotten a girl in a long time, was really drunk at this party. He was getting more and more depressed as the night went on as he saw attractive women pay no attention to him. This person then would blatantly stare at a group of girls for a minute then move in to try to hit on them. After getting quickly denied, he would yell "fuck you bitch" and move on to the next unfortunate group of girls.
Another guy, would was in the same situation a year, long decided that he should improve himself and put all the blame on himself. This year, with the help of his self improvement,allowed him be the life of the party with multiple girls at his feet.
The point of this is that people react to hardships differently, some in positive ways, and others in very hurtful and self-destructive ways. Some people react to the hard times in life coldly and decide to take their frustrations out on other people, justifying their selves from their own hardships. Others will perform these actions solely from a false sense a self-entitlement. Usually, a combination of the two.
How our world is today from past times can be argued from many different perspectives and even greater number of conclusions. I think violence is the single most efficient way for our species to gain and control power and it will be used, directly or indirectly, for as long as our species is alive.
