Violence is a problem that should be tackled seriously and decisively as it is on the rise.
In Finland maybe cases like this are isolated, but already in Italy they are things that happen more often and, the worst thing, is that so many young people are giving in to violence.
I don't know what could depend on it, if on the influences of social media, on the fact that violence is accessible and seen everywhere, on the drift of our society; everyone is a little more angry and many can't keep control that's the point.
I believe that managing anger and one's emotions is important in a path of personal growth ... it is equally true it is important that it would not be nice for my personal growth to be interrupted by an imbecile boy who goes around with a knife and gets pissed off if you feel watched... and we have many of these things here in southern Italy.
Reading and reflecting I am convinced that the world is not a simple world at all; sometimes I think I'm isolating myself for this reason, my contacts are reduced to what is necessary and to my closest family members; my social life is shopping at the supermarket once a week and for the rest... me, my wife and our pets and the thing that makes me think is that it's okay with me...
Maybe I'm starting to go the way of the hermits lol!
I think it has increased with the social media extremism that has been pushed through politics also, with a lot of far-whatevers polarizing on topics that make people scared and feel threatened.
Violence has always been around and many people have been heavily exposed to it in reality, but not become violent themselves. But at those times, there were social communities and family units that built connection. Now, people are isolated, alone - but still have human desires.
I think many have, which also means that the streets are filling with psychos.
