Violence is the gift of human civilisation

Most humans get upset or even traumatised when they witness an incident of gruesome violence and wanton killings or even when they watch or hear any graphic narration of such incidents. Children are particularly affected. It affects many even when such incidents only involve non-human animals. Some may even die out of shock or get mentally affected for long or life.

It is because such violence is against human nature. It assaults natural disposition of human beings. It is not only for the reasons  that such incidents pose obvious threat to the lives and integrity of witnesses but also they cause destruction and obstruction of basic human functions of perpetuating  human lives through reproducing themselves. Life means existence. Violence is destruction. Destruction of any sort assaults life and all living things at their core.

On the other hand, it is the humans, at least in most cases, who do such violence and killings for the sake of violence and killings. No non-human animals do this. It is not natural. It is nurtural. It is a gift of civilisation.

Human endeavours, learnings and research should be directed to discover and learn how to tame this gift of civilisation. Otherwise civilisation will remain and become worse than animal ways of life.

Losing to corporatocracy?

We already have lost important parts, not necessarily geographical, of our country, society and polity to the avaricious corporatocracy and they are marching forward for the remaining parts. We need to take our country back from them immediately, otherwise the dream of life with dignity for all will remain a dream for ever and we and our country will be put into eternal slavery.

Democracy or dictatorship of the capitalists?

In present day democracies it is the corporations who make important decisions and frame state policies and thus run the countries. But how these corporations themselves are run? Are their internal decision making processes and administrative structures democratic? Without doing violent atrocities to the concept of democracy none can say that corporations are democratic institutions. In fact, they are the modern form of dictatorship. Democracy, therefore, means a form of government which is in paper and in external appearance based on the popular support but which is in reality a dictatorship of the capitalists exploiting and oppressing the common people.

Atheism a form of religion

1. There is nothing apolitical in politics. Apolitical-ism is simply another way of doing politics. Probably most people will agree with this.

How about this that there is nothing atheistic in intuitional search for ways of overcoming human misery and limitations which endeavour is known by the name of religion and/or spirituality, and that, therefore, atheism is simply another way of doing spirituality and religion.

It is not yet proved whether there is a god or he is only a godot. The belief in existence or non-existence of god is only an intuitional feeling. The atheists and theists all are only seekers after ways of overcoming human misery and limitations. The former find solace in godot and the latter in god. Both are doing religion and spirituality alike.

Perhaps it is a little different for the agnostics. They dont want to depend much upon intuition at the cost of reasons. They suspend their belief. This suspension makes them areligious or sometimes irreligious.
