Use of aggression to solve problems

Transcend your conditioning
There are many things we can do to shift out of our conditioning to change our world view.
Become aware of your conditioning and work at transcending it to a higher level of behavior and consciousness.
Focus on what we have in common
Focus more on our commonalities than our differences.
Treat others as they deserve to be treated, with kindness and compassion and understanding vs judgments and hatred.
