Quote:I've personally not felt the urge of killing someone have you?
Yes,once.
It was 1964, I was 17. I tried to kill some bloke by hitting him with one of those big old fashioned office swivel chairs. I didn't do him any serious harm.
I was of course sacked,which helped put the hole incident into perspective. Apart from being mortified by my lack of control,it made me realise it's not to my advantage to go around trying to kill people.
I came to control my temper, by (1) Learning martial arts. (Shodokan Karate and judo) and (2) later and more importantly,committing to the life principle of ahimsa,which I interpret as 'the lack of desire to harm'. THAT'S hard. I still sometimes feel the desire to hurt another person, but have never again felt the URGE to do so.
I have never again hit another person in anger.That does not mean I can guarantee I never will.
