Have you ever wondered why we fight? There’s honestly no point to it. What is it going to solve? Absolutely nothing. It’s just going to get your anger out but that could cause even more problems so when you think It’ll solve problems, it really won’t. And for some reason in life, everyone likes to hurt people and they get enjoyment out of it. Have you ever watched two people fight? Everyone crowds around and watches and laughs and they like to see people hurt, they want to see people get hurt. And when one person wins, they feel like they’ve won a trophy or a medal. It’s like a prize to win a fight. You think you won? No, you haven’t won anything. You’ve just hurt someone physically, mentally, and emotionally. I don’t see any winning in that. I recently saw a fight that was about to break out and I saw the two faces and all I saw in their eyes was hurt and anger. It was one of the scariest things I’ve ever seen especially knowing one of the fighters was my brother. I didn’t want them to fight and thank god they didn’t. I’ve never seen so much hate and anger in my brother’s face. I didn’t know what to do so, me, being stupid, I tried stopping it as well as some other people. And I look around and all I see is people shouting and some smiling and their faces. I saw happiness that something like this was going to happen in the middle of a party. In the middle of having a great time, this ruined my night but it made everyone elses nights better. But after a fight people don’t see the damage they’ve done; all they see are the people laughing and the smiles on everyones faces. They don’t look back at the other person that they just fought. If we didn’t fight, this world would be so great. No wars, no arguing. And people try and stop the wars and the arguing but that also brings violence sometimes. This is not a perfect world; there are wars, there are arguments and there’s nothing we can do except hope for it to all end one day. And of coarse everyone knows it will never end, but we still try; why do we do this? Because we are trying to resolve things instead of causing the problem. We watch school fights, UFC, and we all get enjoyment out of it. I will never understand why we like to see people hurt for us to feel good about ourselves. It’s something no one can explain. But in life there are many things we will never be able to explain. So there’s really nothing we can do except sit, wait, and wish. I like to move on from things, not to hold grudges because holding grudges hurts you emotionally and makes you hate when you don’t have to. So don’t hold grudges, be happy, live your life and don’t fight because that will never be the solution to any problem.
Fighting Is Not The Answer
– August 12, 2010Posted in: Life
unfortunately everyone hurts and everyone gets it out in some form be that dance, art, music, drugs whatever but fighting has been since the dawn. fighting is a necessity not always physical it can be mental, emotional, spiritual etc. Some cultures such as the Asians Africans Irish and many more all have connections with fighting and what it is used for. I remember how i was raised I’d be told something and would ask “why” no matter how great the reason/outcome i was told was never enough untill you try it and experience that “hurt” and go…well fuck that im not doing that again” and that has played a great deal in my life my and believe there is a reason for it.take my 1st fight.
A kid had been picking on another kid the whole year in school on the bus and the kid never did anything he was a quiet kid who never stood up for himself so one day i said; “hey knock it off” (not in hostility )and i get “what the fuck are you gunna do about it”?… “nothing just leave him alone, are you going to do something”? “yea kick your ass”……(well fuck) instinct took over as he walked down the bus isle towards me and was DOA. This “hurt” made that kid never pick on that kid ever again the kid changed after that….went gothic. i digress but unfortunately fighting has also became a art and is that way that helps some cope. Is it the way i was raised? who knows but i do believe once someone gets some second thought manually processed through there head the gears begin to work. i do not advocate fighting i hate seeing some people fight like you said friends/ family some do not have it in them it is not for the faint heart. and unfortunately the world would be a lot better w/o it but how are we supposed to stand up when everyone lies down? let that kick around abit.
Haha, it was funny when you said “Is it the way i was raised? who knows but i do believe once someone gets some second thought manually processed through there head the gears begin to work.” I agree with you, fighting definitely does have its place in this world, and is appropriate at times as well. I really liked when you explained how it’s all not physical, which is very true. There can be a fight on almost any level, and even though it could be considered a “fight,” that doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s violent.
I liked what you wrote Camila, especially when you said, “Have you ever watched two people fight? Everyone crowds around and watches and laughs and they like to see people hurt, they want to see people get hurt.” That’s a perfect example of the mob mentality. People see others joining in on something, and they crowd like a mob. It’s really dangerous when that happens in situations that have nothing to do with a fight, like crime or the government.”. I didn’t know what to do so, me, being stupid, I tried stopping it as well as some other people.” I don’t think you were being stupid for trying to stop the fight, I think you were doing the only thing that you felt you could do. I liked this, because your own perspective on fighting, with the realization that it will probably go on forever in some way or another.
you’ve lost sight of it. first of fighting is natural 100%. whether it be for fun or to solve issues, every single thing that lives does it. plants included. the thought of world peace and no fighting is a joke. fighting has been around since the beginning of time, and always will be. \
i do agree how ever that fighting over stupid stuff is dumb. and when a mob of people jump on one person is just a sign of a pack, and humans are pack animals. not saying i agree with it, but you can’t deny mother nature.
also a person shouldnt be embarrassed whether they win or lose, you went in for a fight and you came out of a fight.
although i do not believe it is in a girls nature to fight. i think guys should fight at least oonce in your life, to find out who you really are.
I agree with Bo-tox when he said that fighting is 100 % natural for humans. He’s right, it is and not only in humans but in insects, mammals ,fish ,and plants.But I disagree with you when you stated that its not a females nature to fight. That’s nonsense we all know that woman are more than capable of doing everything a man could do, and you probably think I’m a girl defending the sexism in women, but I’m a guy and believe woman can do anything a man could do. And fighting doesn’t show who you really are as a person,there are other things in life that fulfill that meaning. I don’t know what that might be but its not fighting.In all i think that fighting is a human instinct and its an inevitable part in our lives and is essential to our living.
