VIOLENCE
It was Kain, so the Bible sais, who commited the first act of violence. He killed his brother Abel, because of envy; God accepted his offerings and refused Kain's. This evil deed split up the universe into dualities. The holistic universe retreated and man stood in front of his worst enemy, himself, as an alter-ego and double. Kain's curse is still being exercised. Man fighting and killing man. Indian babys are born with their hands wide open, Caucasian new-borns enter the new world, with hands like fists. Once you fulfill an act of deliberate violence, you are doomed. Not only will one fight lead to another, it will also haunt you in lives to come. We cannot understand violence, when we don't accept and incorporate the concept of reincarnation.

The French philosopher Levinas explored the concept of “violence” and its effects on nature and mankind. Violence is much, much more, that“just” war, looting, deliberate destruction, crime, etnic cleansing and assasinations. Violence is also the “commerce and merchandising-department of violence”. All the computergames, video's, movies and toys are materialization of violence, and promoted as a toy for kids starting from 2 years on. Violence is all the noise we produce, the pollution of the atmosphere, mega-festivals, car and motorraces and mass-experiences. Violence against animals and against nature. But most of all, the violence against each-other and expecially your loved-ones. In this 1 to 1-interaction violence can mean gossiping, nagging, ignoring, discriminating or treating without respect. This is the real battleground and it generates all kinds of effects.

So violence is proclaimes as being natural. It is not, humans are the only species, that kills each-other on purpose, but Natural Geographic and Animal Planet are programming our kids, that nature means “eat or being eating” and that predators rule. Violence is presented as a “meaning to an end”. War is many-times the first option and History Channel will underline that our cultural development, is synonymous to survival of the fittest, while nations and empiresfighting heroic and ultimate battles. There is no war, to end all wars. When a war ends, you plan for the next one. This snake in our Paradise, is the military-industrial complex and the governing Elite.
