So can one have an insight into aggression?

February 5, 2014

So can one have an insight into aggression? - not the remembrance or implication of it, which means constant examination, coming to a conclusion and acting according to that conclusion - that is not insight. But if one has an immediate insight into it, then one has broken the whole pattern of aggression. So what will you do about the way you are living: the everlasting going to meetings, discussions with philosophers, and the latest psychologists? One never says. " Look, I am like this, let me find out why. Why does one have wounds, pyschological bruises? Why does someone live with them?"
