How Repetitive Thinking Leads to Violence

The human ego likes to be right. The painful side of this ego loves fuel to validate this rightness.  When you are so caught up in your identity that you believe everyone has to believe you and do as you say, or they are wrong, you become unconsciously negative in your thinking about others. If you take this egocentric thinking far enough, you want to change others by screaming your truth and telling them how to live your way. 

The more you think negatively about the world, more it becomes a habit. In time it can become a repetitive out of your control automatic negative response that will lead to a negative conclusion. Eventually the anger's only way to solve this situation to your satisfaction is with a hateful action. Now you think that this response is the right response because you are so familiar with it, it is comfortable. 

If you do not shed some positive light into this thinking and validate others have a right to their opinions, become humble and give credit that others can be right from their perspective, that there can be another way to resolve the conflict, you throw down a chalice. You scream your defence of why you are right and the other is wrong, this is an act of war. Verbal wars lead to violent outcomes. Silent wars in your head lead to personal injury. The best way to stop this violence is to listen to others, consider another has a right to disagree and still be acceptable in their viewpoint.  Flood your mind with positives about your situation and the world around you. Only you can control your thoughts. 

If you get so completely buried in your egotistic viewpoints that you scream and try to force others to live your rules, your way, you will get a few responses, one: you may find timid personalities that will bow down and do your bidding to shut you up.  This happens too often in families and friends.  Others may leave your presence never to return, some may pacify you long enough to get away and then stay away for their own peace of mind and sanity. 

Others that are as angry as you and do not know better, may engage in screaming back. This is never productive and will end in violence unless someone backs off. These two personalities feed off anger from another. 

When no one responds to their screaming, the pain body loses fuel, loses power over anyone. Ignoring this angry person may work for a while, but if ignoring does not work, you must take action to protect yourself, in some cases, you need the strong arm of the law.  When adults get out of control with their anger, their insane mind believes violence to others is the correct answer. It is not. Your true nature is kindness, you were born of it.

Sometimes those of us who prefer to negotiate and compromise for peaceful resolution will not entertain such a person for any amount of time.  It takes patience and it takes awareness of being in control of yourself not to respond negatively to this anger.  How do you do this?  Slow down, breathe, become present, the universe will give you the action to take, the words to speak, sometimes the answer is to remain silent.  Life is too short to continue to believe that constant fear and long term anger is normal, or to believe ongoing violence will bring you inner peace.  It cannot.

Thankful to learn of these positive truths that have saved me from depression and suicide.  Now I write, but it is up to you to want to understand.  Don't believe me, do your own research. Namaste.
