Violence, battery, murder
Or even sex
Are not inherently attractive.
Children have to lose
through hormonal and cultural application their repulsion for each.
Our rational mind unconsciously seeks sex and violence not because of their minor sensations of escape but the deep inner brain twists even these meager relievers to forget the body. With violence we talk often of these mental states such as blind rage, bloodlust,
Which can empower the body with
astounding strength and remove barriers of conduct.
The brain's visible drive to escape is not limited to our
species.
The brains of our animal family members same as us, in fight or flight, shut down all unnecessary body and mental functions in order to live in a world of ideas.
We call it distraction and do not grasp the obvious.
What is demonstrated in sports but the planning and control of complex actions during the emotional demonstrations by masses of
ritualized violence?
Abu Ghraib is just a more recent example of thousands of daily scenarios where humans lose elevated provinces of restraint and preference in an oeuvre of survival passions.
We see manifest this incredible drive of the inner mind to master and thereby escape the body's limitations. This inner mind which we fail to recognize becomes visible.
