I’m sorry, what? Living in reality is happiness. Pretending the world is what it is not is depressing because one day you’ll have to come to terms with reality and it’ll shatter you.

Explain to me how your country has come into existence and remains peaceful (assuming it’s peaceful) without violence.

I’m not saying peace doesn’t exist, but it’s yin and yang. The world isn’t flowers and rainbows and cannot possibly be that as our species currently exists today. If you believe that, then you are living in a bubble and willfully ignorant of human nature when peace or survival is threatened. Everything is violent when it has to be.

You have the privilege of being peaceful because of the threat of violence. We’re still just animals when it really comes down to it.

I agree.
