violence in humans a social taboo



Rory Miller discusses the taboo subject of the capacity for violence in humans.  The host is rewilder Daniel Vitalis.  This is a fascinating and very pertinent issue for these times.  I love the part where they discuss the benefits of awareness.  It is great to be focussed on the good and what we want and open to opportunities on this level but genuine awareness will not filter out alerts about the safety of either ourselves or our loved ones.  We have been told by some that the world is a fearful place and we should just respond with love.  Love is great, but the antidote to fear is courage.
