The saddest impossibility

Peculiar at first. The way the mind works. Designed such, that survival is top priority.
Growing, it absorbs even the smallest bits of information. And to that end with bits and bobs and other factors, the mind is made.
Not unchangeable but not so malleable either.

A mind made using all the information growing up to meet survival needs.
Survival includes resistance to certain atrocities like murder and torture. Not only from being victim to it but also doing the act itself and also from seeing it.
There are grades or levels of how much violence affects the mind, from peace-lovers who cry at the sight of blood to psychopaths who crave the sight of blood. Simply said, we are all victims and aggressors, to a certain degree, to physical and psychological violence.

The mind is a perfect survival tool, equipped to adapt to any environment whilst growing. So if violence is present in the minds' development stage and victim to it early on, the mind will develop a resistance against it. Now that same mind quite fully developed, will in future see violence of that same degree as something natural of this world. As is strongly suggested in psychopathic studies; having witnessed great violence in their childhood they have grown to adulthood seeking such violence to appease their broken minds somehow.

The point however is that to some degree everyone has psychopathic tendencies. This inevitably leads to one of the saddest truths in a very logical manner.
If there is already violence in the world, it cannot be kept abreast from new generations. Therefore violence will continue on like a chain, passed on from one age to the next.

A hypocrisy will follow where we know in theory such violence is horrendous and unnatural. Yet made natural by our minds designed to survive. We shall turn a blind eye to atrocities if it does not affect us directly so we may carry on our lives 'peacefully'.
Seeking to make the mind an isolated system, free of external influences. Yet that is not possible, and similar to the 2nd law of thermodynamics, the entropy of the universe cannot decrease. It can only increase and as a result things can be said to only get more disorganised or worse.
A world where violence is ignored or worse encouraged. It is a sad world indeed, and the saddest impossibility being it can only get worse with time.
World Peace?
An impossible dream...

As long as we seek peace with others it will at best slow down evil's progression.
What we truly need, is to seek peace within ourselves.
After all; only one can truly change oneself.

To become someone that can shrug off all violence and stop it spreading is to become someone full of compassion only.
