Why so much violence?

But that is not the way of life! Life is all about Live and let live dear friend! Thanks!

Yes, we need to work on our patience. Where does patience come from? But if mankind breeds violence and enjoys violence then why are people surprised when violent acts are done?

@AKRao24 I believe too that it should be like that - Live and Let Live. I hope people would not resort to violence, my friend.

Remember that Abel was an innocent victim. It may have started even before that? See John 8:44?

@db20747 There's all kinds of reasons for violence but the entertainment field brings right into our homes for us to enjoy.

Yes over jealousy about something he could have also done too!!

@1hopefulman , Obviously you and me are responsible for this!

@1hopefulman , we need to raise our Voice against it!

@AKRao24 Why do you say you and me? Are you contributing to the world's violence as I am not?

But peace doesn't hurt me or make me cry but violence does. When I'm out, I am not concerned about peaceful people saying hello and smiling but am on the watch for those that might hurt me.

@db20747 I wish we didn't have to worry about violence and people that might want to harm us but things can go bad suddenly and anywhere we might be.

@1hopefulman That's right!!! You'd better be on the look out!!!!

And at the same time there are great acts of kindness and humanity being done. I guess we can go either way.

Let's see what I can up with?

@MALUSE I won't count sheep tonight.

@1hopefulman The problem will occupy your mind for a long time. No more boredom for you! :-)

Yes, the world is just a violent as when Noah walked the earth.

Society seems to getting worse. There seems to be some evil manipulator at work!

@velvet53

@1hopefulman Some people just love to cause problems for others. They must have a pretty miserable life to be this way.

Exactly! They think that entertaining children with violence and gore is going to raise peaceful and loving people.

@rebelann

I think kids should be outside in nature learning about how things grow and how wildlife interacts with each other @1hopefulman at least then they don't get crazy stupid ideas.

We know for sure that the tv programs and movies of today is a lot more violent than that of the past.

We are sure not getting better.

@LadyDuck

@1hopefulman It seems that the more "civilized" we are, the less we care for the others.

There are a number of factors and the fact that television and entertainment is often about violence and many video games are all about violence is not good especially for children.

@DianneN That is true! I no longer watch movies that feature violence. I have a hard time watching people hurting other people.

@1hopefulman I agree, but not everyone is affected by it.

Things are not as they used to be.

I loved that show! Good night John-boy!

But if violence is a game and entertainment, what does that say about us?

@arthurchappell We won't see eye to eye on that one.

@1hopefulman that we enjoy entertainment - it's only if someone is entertained by real suffering that things get problematic

Yes, it is part and parcel of life. We seem to take pleasure in hurting people.

@1hopefulman It does look like that way

@amadeo

So true! I think that violence will probably increase in the days ahead.

@Marilynda1225 Yes it is but it's the choice most of us make.

@1hopefulman it's very sad isn't it

So it's not the rising heat that's raising the anger and violence?

@ridingbet But why should I get angry because someone disagrees with me and why should they?

@1hopefulman i think it may be due to a clash of ideas, opinions, beliefs and perceptions of anything that may predispose to violence.

For sure that the media plays a part with all their violent programs.

@1hopefulman

@porwest I think we can do whatever we want to do. I can be violent or I can be a peaceful person. I can look for trouble or I can avoid it. I can watch the entertainment I decide to watch. I now avoid violent entertainment and movies. I look at the trailer and then decide if I want to watch it. Do you know the old Indian story of the two wolves fighting inside each one of us?

Since we refuse to change, we will get what we deserve as violence keeps begetting violence!

@1hopefulman Not sure if it is an outright refusal on anyone's part. I truly believe it is simple human nature. It's why it has been around since the dawn of man and will be around until the last man is standing.
