48 Why do people enjoy violance?

Please forgive the inferior sound quality, as this was a recorded conference call.

Our world celebrates and encourages violence, bad things happening to people, either mentally, emotionally, or physically. Ultimately, if you find yourself enjoying violence, this boils down to issues with your significance and security. Issues with significance will cause you to want to make yourself feel better by pulling other people down, judging others, comparing yourself to others, and even wanting bad things to happen to other people who make you feel inferior. Likewise, issues with security will make you dwell on your perceptions of superiority and inferiority as well as rejection instead of the areas of your life where you have been accepted.

The root of these feelings is likely in the anger family and is based on creating wrong goals that are focused on seeking pleasure and avoiding pain externally rather than on truth and love regardless of the end result. Using pain (violence to others) to fix pain (that you feel internally) never works and will only lead to more and more pain.

Ask yourself this question: “Is the way I am living the way I really want to be living?” If you find yourself focusing on the wrong goals and seeking love substitutes, you should pray, pray, pray to be reprogrammed to live in light, love, and truth instead of seeking pleasure and avoiding pain.
