Violence in our natures is raw archetypal energy that has existed within us from the beginning. It is there for survival, it is there for protection, it is there for creativity to come spewing out from inside of us bolstered by that indefinable source of energy that the dark side provides. Young men are typically more aggressive than young women overall. Today there are no such elders , there is no rite of passage , there is no one paying any attention to the need to create the music in those who come after them. Mythology has become lost in the mire of mis-understanding.
People think myth means false or untrue.
Myth is a mirror of our society, of its hurts, its pains, its joys, and its dreams. We are natural storytellers whether we ever open our mouths or not. Our lives are stories within themselves. It is the stories that make it all come together. Stories are at the core of who and what we are as emotional beings.
