Abstract:
Although we are born and brought up in society, we are
sometimes hurt by the offensive behavior of some people in our family and
society, may be by the so-called friends or rivals or enemies. If we suppress
our anger and don’t fight with them then we suffer from depression, frustration
and other emotional disorders. On the other hand if we express our anger to
fight back then the situation may become worse by inviting bigger fights and
more violence. The question arises, how to solve this problem?
There are both fighting solutions and non-fighting solutions
to this problem. Non-fighting solutions are better than fighting solutions
because they reduce anger and violence. They are not only good for individuals
but also good for society and world. However, the drawback of non-fighting
solutions is that generally, there is no feeling of our enemy getting punished.
Although a higher ego (the rationality within us) is satisfied with such
solutions, a lower ego (the animality within us) is not happy to see our enemy
moving free or hurting us again.
Ideally, we don’t want to set up a fight with anybody but we
want to see our enemy is punished. We don’t want to kill our enemy by ourselves
or by deploying others but we want to see that the enemy is dead. We don’t want
to follow any method of violence but we want to see all our enemies dying
before us. This article gives a solution to achieve this goal.
