War is the deliberate destruction of human beings and their artifacts to gain dominance over a group, its lands and its culture.
War depends on mobilizing the aggressive instincts of animal human being.
The instinct of attack and destroy is built into human animals for a purpose. It cannot be rooted out. It needs safe cultural expression or it breaks out.
To handle your natural aggression have ways of daily expressing aggression.
Teach your children to be aggressive, to fight back, to stand up for themselves, boy children and girl children.
Have arenas for adult children to explode and express their anger and aggression, such as in football matches.
Couples must learn to fight in a balanced and aggressive way, such as in shouting, wrestling, screaming, hitting, sexual pounding.
Yet, in human aggression watch that you always keep the balance in your fights. This means that between lovers or parents and children, neither of you seeks to wipe out the other person.
Break the syndrome of winners and losers. Encourage good fights of attack and counter attack.
Don’t destroy each other, though you give each other pain. Suffering is a good learning tool when done in both directions with no winners or losers.
Creative aggression is to break up old attitudes and patterns that block new life and well-being. We all get stuck in these.
War itself is the extreme form of human aggression in which there is so much inner repression and frustration built up in organized society that the most vulnerable, the hormone laden young males are easily stimulated to attack other males called the enemy.
Instead of political extremes and parties build sports stadiums. Instead of terrorist and military training camps why not build sports institutes with plenty of opportunity for young men and women to learn fighting and to do fighting under controlled conditions. Martial arts can be taught. Playing soccer-football can be done. Free-for-all fighting with active supervisors on the field also to protect combatants from terrible harm. Emotional release groups and techniques can be taught.
If we take certain Arab groups as only one example. Soccer balls should be free, as well as plenty of sports fields in all the local neighborhoods with plenty of good coaches earning their livings helping the young males and females interact aggressively in various ways. War weapons can be demonstrated on shooting ranges. But also, ethics and reality politics are taught, with the history of warfare and couple warfare objectively taught and role-played.
Leader types are also trained in being better leaders and in having vision and purpose in leading groups. Debates are held so that leader-types can learn how to convince others through speech.
Train people in accumulating and using power. Don’t try and make certain groups powerless while making other groups as powerful as possible.
The human heritage is that every group and person has equal rights. The strong of the world are stupid to try and keep power for the disadvantaged of the world. They should share power as equals and inspire the spirit of cooperation in sharing power and purpose together in life.
Think the best of humanity and the best is likely to happen.
