What Is Violence

#

In nature every entity has life. Life means takes birth, grows, decay, and die. Look around and identify what is that which is permanently there? A lifetime of life may vary from microseconds to billions of years. But everything comes into existence and disappears.

Every life has its parts e.g. human life has parts like head, hand, feet, brain, etc. and all parts put together make a complete system.

The system automatically consumes the necessary things from the surrounding without much efforts like air, water, etc provided they are available in good quality and quantity else system and in turn life need to struggle.

If struggle fails then the system collapses and living body die. This principle applies to all lives including plants, insects, animals, etc.

Every system automatically throw away some waste, which is not required by the system If the waste does not come out automatically then system and life need to struggle to throw away if struggle fails then life get disease and dies over time with that disease.

The automatic output of every system is different in a plant, it is a leaf, fruits, flowers, etc. in the animal being it is milk, urine, poo, sweat, nails, hair, etc.

Nature has made a system in such a way that every output of some living system is input and survival for other life. Nothing goes waste.

The only question is a particular output becomes the input for whom. e.g. waste of cut vegetables can be food for cows or maggots. Depends on how sensibly you generate output And how sensibly you feed the next system.

Now the truth is if the input is not available to a particular living entity at the time of need then it will die.

There may be an abundance of food in the world But time and place of the availability matters If fertilizer is not available at the root of the plants then it dies If insects are not available to the birds in their area then they die If the grass is not given to the cow then she dies

Every life fights its best for survival before it dies Herbivores, carnivores, omnivores has a different kind of fights and with different lives. This fight for the survival of the self is violence.

The least violence is done by those who cannot travel like plants and trees?

Most violence is done by human who can do anything even make or buy sophisticated equipment to fight and win at any price.

If enough is available then animals, birds, plants do not fight with each other for survival.

But the fight of human looks illogical. Even if enough is available he wants to have more for tomorrow not only for him but for his own people not only for one or two days survival but for the time till he dies And he thinks he will never die So keep in the go-down as much as possible

So they turn houses into go-down Without realizing that if they die tomorrow There is not container service available for the place where they go after death.

Human does not fight only for body survival but the survival of his ideas and thoughts post his death.

A human fights for the ideas of somebody whom he likes i.e. Communist and leftist people fight for the ideals of Karl Marks and Gandhian people fight for the ideas of Mahatma Gandhi.

Human fights for his group. A human fights for the dominance over others. Human fights for proving himself right.

Human creates something for peace and harmony and if somebody disturbs that then human fights for that also i.e human fights for religion. Basically, religion is a system for peace and harmony. But a human fight for that as well.

A Human fights for his taste. If he like the taste of something then whether it is live or dead must be served on his plate for his enjoyment.

To survive every living needs some input. If that is not easily available then life fights with the other lives in nature.

Look it from the human perspective when we fight we get mental and physical exertion and with whom we fight the same happens to that as well.

Let us assume for sometime you are living in a far village In that village, there is only one home and you are alone in that home

Today you are feeling hungry you want something and nothing is available around so you need to struggle.

You enter into a forest next to the village and you find a dead goat; running chicken; freshly fallen fruits from the tree; other hanging fruits,

Ask yourself what will you do and what will you eat? Fallen fruit or hanging fruit or catch the running chicken or cook the dead goat. It will help you understanding how violent you are on a day to basis.

This is not a question of religion This is not a question of survival When enough is available then what we prefer to eat is a matter of taste!

Every living being does violence for the survival Eating a fallen fruit is one kind of violence Plucking the fruit from the tree is another kind of violence Eating a dead goat is one kind of violence Eating a running chicken is another kind of violence

The highest degree of violence is where eater and eaten both fights for survival and both are emotional beings.

Ask yourself in nature Whatever input you are consuming is made for your survival or some other kind of life is entitled to that.

The biggest problem is human thinks life on the earth is made by the god for him. So if we do not enjoy then who will enjoy it. The thought that this phenomenal world is human-centric is the disease of the human mind. And this is the cause of high violence.

Oh Pratibimba, it is possible to cure this disease by compassion?
