Line 11: Line 10:
 In situations where a military is attacking a population without adequate defense, the focus of aid should be in providing shelter or escape to those being attacked, making an effort not to engage the attackers.  Even if the situation looks unjust, we cannot make the world a better place by using punishment.  We only end up having more enemies.  You can also provide medical help to the wounded aggressors. In situations where a military is attacking a population without adequate defense, the focus of aid should be in providing shelter or escape to those being attacked, making an effort not to engage the attackers.  Even if the situation looks unjust, we cannot make the world a better place by using punishment.  We only end up having more enemies.  You can also provide medical help to the wounded aggressors.

-Rape, and women's disposition to choose prosperity or attributes other than morality in their mates facilitated the transition to corruption.  Humanity may have evolved towards a degraded capacity for cooperative society.  Is there enough will to improve?+Rape, and women's disposition to choose prosperity or attributes other than morality in their mates facilitates the transition to corruption.  People capable of independent thinking and a cooperative empathic nature are bred out of the population.  Humanity may have evolved towards a degraded capacity for cooperative society.  Is there enough will to improve?
