I have heard repeatedly that humans have an aggressive nature, a warlike tendency. Within me, that part is certainly present, though not expressed. I have felt it recently and acted on it in the past. However, there is also the love, God, compassion, peaceful part, which I have also felt and witnessed in others. That part is in each of us. Which part gets expressed seems to depend on which part a person “feeds”, which part a person believes in and encourages. Unfortunately, much of TV and movies feeds the aggressive/violent part. Personally, I now support the love part, which feels truer and very strong. The aggressive part has always felt hollow, which makes me question whether it is, in fact, our true nature.
