Be curious Not judgmental It’s much harder than it seems, especially when your gut reaction is highly-charged emotion. But try it. Make it an all-day meditation about EVERYTHING. Even when you stumble (and you will), try again. See what it does for you. I’ll bet you’ll

@Cobratate I agree, these urges exist. But you promote raw submission to barbarism. The real men in the world will, indeed, fight when necessary. BUT, they love peace and their fellow humans, and they have learned to sublimate their baser urges for much more valuable characteristics.
