I remember doing a course in relation to assessing risk of violence in individuals. The psych running the course was asked the question: are humans inherently non-violent ("On Killing" was referenced).
His response: go to any kindergarten and look to the number of reports of *biting* and to a lesser extent punching/hitting etc. Our natural instinct is violence, that later gets tempered by society/environment, but it lurks there, ever present.
Wow!! Brilliant writing, if only more people could think as you do! I'm off to throw myself under a bus now!
Thankful to know people like you exist & have a platform.
