It’s rather sad how society is more centralized around violence due to events that occurred over the past decade, not only have those events caused us to become more paranoid; they have also lead us to defend ourselves through sometimes unnecessary bloodshed which is a cause for concern strictly due to the fact that we no longer know what it means to be safe. I’d much rather have a society in which problems were solved with words and not violence since violence only leads to more violence, I know that sounded a bit redundant however I’m trying to make a point here and that point is that it’s much better to sit down and talk your problems out rather than grabbing a gun and killing someone; in that way, there are no negative repercussions and no more lives shall be lost.

However, that idea is strictly a dream that isn’t possible; at least not now, if it were possible to travel backwards in time then maybe society wouldn’t be so fucked up but even then that’s hard to believe, throughout the existence of mankind; it appeared that the only way to solve conflict was through violence and that seems to be the default idea for people in 2010. There is something called non violent conflict resolution; if people were to practice that then maybe so many lives wouldn’t be lost and there wouldn’t be a need for war.
