So Much Trouble in the World

I believe that violence accomplishes nothing. I've never understood people who want to hurt other people. Ever since I was in middle school I have been watching people fight. I remember that sometimes I was afraid of my school because some hormone raging girl had decided she was going to "beat my ass" all because I looked at her funny. Why do people get so angry so easily? What is it that drives a person to physically hurt someone else?
A couple weeks ago my best friend and I went out to a nightclub called Beta to see one of our favorite DJ's. After we had our fill of the bass throbbing madness we left and walked to our car which was in a parking lot on 18th and Market street. Across the street from Beta is another club called Bash. This club is known for it's roughness and I wouldn't even want to go in there. As we made our way to our car one girl came out of Bash bragging to her friends about a fight she had just got in. This whole time there were two boys walking behind us that had also exited from Club Bash. As we entered the parking lot I turn around because I hear someone yelling, "Hey! Hey mother fucker!" I thought they were yelling at me but they were actually yelling at the two guys right behind us. The yelling boys ran across the street and started fighting the boys behind us. The only thing I could think about was how somebody had gotten shot and killed in that same parking lot only months prior to that night. I was scared. I hate watching people fight, and this was a particularly violent display. My friend and I hurried to my car and left as quickly as we could. I looked over my shoulder one last time and saw that one of the boys had taken off his belt that had metal studs on it and was whipping the boy that was walking behind me with it. What in the world could this boy have done to deserve a beating with a studded belt? What does anyone do in life that would be justified with a beating?
Some people are raised fighting. I've met people who got fighting lessons from their parents as children and were forced to practice with their siblings. Now, I can see why a parent would want their child to be able to defend themselves, but I'm afraid the wrong lesson is being learned here. Now these children assume that fighting will make them look superior and solve their problems. Now whenever there is confrontation the first thing this person is going to turn to is a fight. As a result fights happen every day for stupid reasons just so someone can feel like they showed someone else up.
Another thing I believe in is karma. I think this is probably why I've never been in a fight. People have made me angry before for sure, but I didn't seek satisfaction or revenge through violence. I can simply smile to myself and know that they will get theirs in life. Karma will get them eventually, and sometimes this can be in ways more painful than violence. Physically hurting someone is a waste of energy and time. It takes so much to hate someone let alone to want to hurt them. I think that everyone's energy could be spent in a million better ways.
