Wednesday Discussion

A human’s innate bloodthirsty desire and yearning for violence can never be completely suppressed as we discussed in class. Religion itself was supposed to be a way out, some sort of escape that makes it wrong to commit violent acts, but in reality, it had the complete opposite effect. Religion was supposed to teach people that killing for example, was wrong, they’re beliefs were supposed keep them peaceful. Yet, as people started having different beliefs and this is where the problems started. In my opinion, a perfect world or utopia will never be the same for every person and it will not be one in which all humans believe the same thing or believe nothing at all. A perfect world is, for me, one in which we all have our own different beliefs and have nothing against what other people believe. If this took place, war over which religion is better would disappear.

Nevertheless, violence is not completely suppressed; people still kill for the hell of it. This can also relate to the topic discussed yesterday about humans being irrational and illogical. Killing is not logical or irrational, and even though some people might think they have a reason for doing so, I think they kill because of the thrill, the rush of doing something dangerous because in that moment, nothing else matters except what is right in front of you.
