Confused.
Why should it transcend anything?
I was trying to elaborate on a simple muse.
Examining, with what little intellect I have, a tiny slice of humanity... the issue of physical force.
Human violence is a human problem, a human device.
And sadly... we're all still humans.
It doesn't seem to be decreasing much over time, it just changes forms, changes names.
How do we transcend that, again?
...
What I'm NOT saying is that violence is the do-all-be-all; no-no... obviously there are many other facets to humanity. I'm suggesting that physical force always seems to come into play somewhere regardless of how well mannered people are, regardless of how the government works, etc.
I'm thinking that it is always there under the surface or up in your face. It is an option that never ghosts itself on the human life menu.
Maybe violence / force is "the cheese"... whether you eat it or not is a personal choice and often changes on a long enough time line.
"Reasonable" people doing "unreasonable" things.
Happens all the time, apparently.
...
And now I'm a "sociopath" because I make bar room jokes.
Name calling! (j/k)
