RE: With The US Mainstream Media Rioting For Sports Is OK, But Rioting For A Reason Is Not

in #news7 years ago (edited)

It's almost like they encourage sports riots or something... particularly the violence with football.

It's just those boys blowing off steam, you know.... cathartic.

When there have been many, many studies on the subject in philosophy and works like Patanjali's Yoga Sutras and Swami Vivekananda's works that say the exact opposite - that acting out violent tendencies only gives rise to more violent tendencies, and that the end goal is to sublimate and transform, not express, undesirable and/or harmful emotions and thoughts.

Modern psychology has it backwards, and I think it's on PURPOSE, as with a great many other things!

Thank you so much for this report, @johnvibes. You got a vote and resteem from me. <3
