There is no purpose to aggression

There is no a priori reason to be violent if there are sufficient resources in the world. Being violent in these circumstances is needless and wasteful of human life. If there is no purpose to violence then it is invalid since it creates harm. Hurting someone else is not reasonable because being alive (or dead) is a choice for us each to make. There is no reason to desire the death of another person, except perhaps if they are a threat and a danger. It is good that other people are alive, even if they are annoying occasionally because it makes life more interesting and more of a challenge.

We learn from being irritated.
