Whenever I see “how we are as a species” I am torn. The was a basic design we cannot deny but there is also an evolution (physical, mental & societal) that is undeniable but questionable.
When we used to react either fight or flight because survival was on the line, society (not everywhere I know) has insulated from that having to be the case. Now, we can use our intellect and wisdom paired with ability to contribute to society before we react.
I just like knowing personally that it is easier to hate than it is to love. Sure I have a little hatred and fear in me but I have the ability to regulate that and hate what it feels like to be a victim.
A little topical revenge can feel nice but definitely not a good path to walk all the time.
