14. For war, tyranny, violence, crime , evolution and justice

In short:

Violence in society may begin  at the erotic life of the individual. It is well known the historic ibsenic triangle of ancient Greek Trojan war : Menelaos of Peloponnisos, Beautiful Helen, Paris of Troy. Violance can has as its origin also the need of survival, and the desire for domination. In societies violence is also created by the economic inequalities.  Social violence may occur also in a society when it is is influenced by, is entertaining, maintaining and cultivating  strong negative will outside itself. The Jungle is full of violence , and to us it is sign of lower spiritual and psychic evolution.

Violence is a chain reaction , and like shifting sands, traps individuals and groups in to repetitive behaviour through revenge hatred etc. . It is required special efforts to become free from the chains of violence. 

In particular in our civilization we need a new enhanced principle of non-violence, as described in the  diamond rule (post 12). It is not anymore enough to practice non-violence for ourselves or as society. We must be sure also that we do not utilize in unbalanced measure, the majority of the physical or financial resources of the global, so that we lead other  majorities or even minorities,  to misery unhappiness poverty deprivation and degradation , which may very  often  lead them to violence. So although we may not exercise directly violence,  we  may still create misery unhappiness, poverty, deprivation and degradation , and finally violence.

Wars of societies is the last resort, when all other means cannot work, and sacred values and rights must be defended. Besides wars which is a mass violence in society, there is also the violence of crimes of individuals or illegitimate groups of individuals. This violence is related to crimes and violations of the accepted laws. But crime may be also subtle , hidden, by secret private (or even state-based) legitimate groups and related to hidden tyranny. It is obvious that some of the criminals have a sense of "justice" and "fairness" about what they do even when they violate the accepted law and justice. It is one more example of how different consciousness and states of evolution, have a different sense and concept of justice. 

And here are some interesting questions:

1)  Is mainly violence and crimes, the result of different levels of evolution (spiritual and psychic) of individuals living in the same society?

2) Is violence related to lack of freedom, unfulfilled erotic life, and constraining  increasing size populations in limited resources space?

3) Is violence from human to humans related to violence from human to animals and nature?

All the three  questions, if answered in the positive, seem to have some truth. 

Now if 1) is the main factor of violence, then humanity can do little about it, as it is not humanity that decides the spiritual and psychic evolution of the individuals  that are borne. At best most spiritually advanced  individuals may try to tame the less advanced.

But if 2) and 3)  are the main factors, then there are many solutions to eliminate violence. By increasing freedom, by improving the values about the erotic relations, by improving technology and developing almost costless renewable (free) energy, by developing eco-sustainability, by eliminating monetary over-debt, by eliminating animal  tyranny and animal slavery, by learning how to avoid entertaining external hostile to humanity will, by learning how not to be manipulated and used by hostile intentions, then the  violence from human to humans may be eliminated.

Some other remarks:

Realizing the danger of external to planet, threats, may eliminate wars, and unite us.

Realizing our common spiritual and civlizational DNA galactic origin, may eliminate wars, and unite us.

Violence originated from subtly hidden and elaborate tyranny of smaller secrete  parts of the society  to the globality of the society (E.g. the tyranny of  secrete terrorist private groups or non-private "security" groups to the democratic society), is by far more difficult to deal with; It comes from the desire to revenche, or dominate. By decreasing financial, cultural, and tecnological differences, this violence too can be eliminated

Some quotes by Buckminster Fuller from his book

Grunch of Giants (1983) 

• I was convinced in 1927 that humanity's most fundamental survival problems could never be solved by politics.

• I set about fifty-five years ago (1927) to see what a penniless, unknown human individual with a dependent wife and newborn child might be able to do effectively on behalf of all humanity...

• I do not look upon human beings as good or bad. I don't think of my feet as a right foot and a wrong foot. ... I am a student of the effectiveness of the technological evolution in its all unexpected alterations of the preoccupations of humanity and in its all unexpected alterings of human behaviors and prospects.

• I do know that technologically humanity now has the opportunity, for the first time in its history, to operate our planet in such a manner as to support and accommodate all humanity at a substantially more advanced standard of living than any humans have ever experienced.

• Humanity is now experiencing history's most difficult evolutionary  transformation.
