Answer 1

violence is a lot easier than loving,

thats why the devils i temptation, what is quick and easy in ethics is almost always wrong,

forgiving and loving takes a strong mind and a lot of thought

Answer 2

Answer 3

To love is to forgive.  To love is more difficult than to hate.  Hence violence spreads faster.

Answer 4

U R WRONG.Love spreads faster than anything in this Universe.

Answer 5

The news!

They never report the love just the violence.

Answer 6

Why? Because it's easier to hate then to forgive. No one wants to admit they are wrong there for they are more likely to go against the people who don't see the way they do. There won't be peace until people can forgive and accept people who are different from their own views.  

Answer 7

It takes longer to make a cake than it is to eat it.

It take longer to grow a great tree than it does to chop it down.

It takes longer to build a life than it is to destroy it.

That is just the way it is.

BUT, the rewards of great things, by far, beat the rewards of any quick fix. And that is also the way it is.  You get to choose.  

Answer 8

because it is easier to resort to violence than to love.

Answer 9

I believe that Violence is an innate quality to us (animals). It is in our nature. society doesn't have to teach it to us, society merely satisfies our attraction to violence by showing it in media.

Where as Love is feeling/expression the society created to label mating and acquaintance between people. I believe that most things we label as love are either:

dependence: (monetary, social etc)

animal desire (mating and such)

natural instinct for a species to propogate: (maternal love, a mother's instinct to protect her offspring)

It is almost as if love is something the society forces on us. where as violence is natural. I think that people wrongly blame everything on media, people are more attracted to news that implies destruction, death and violence that those about love and peace, which is unfortunate considering we think of ourselves as civilized even though it is only technologically that we have advanced not spiritually.

Answer 10

Simple.

Though, through ages, we  acquired this human form, are yet to give up or overcome the beastly instincts.

It takes time.

Answer 11

I don't see it as you do. I see just the opposite. It's the spread of negative news over the good news that is the problem.

The question should be what is it about our Media systems that only want to promote things that are negative. What is in their hearts? Could it be greed that drives them to this extreme? We know it is not love.

In Georgia to day we only see that bad and this is OK but why not show what good that can be found. There must be countless things that have Merritt we could be made aware of. How about the aid that the displaced is getting at great expense and risk to many. How about the strength and courage shown by the oppressed.

Answer 12

Because the love has becom violence .cauce.(selfishness .comfert.)

Answer 13

     Violence acts like a  'dynamite'.  It is a huge negative energy  kept compressed in  the sub  conscious. When an  opportunity arises,  it burst out at the slightest provocation. Whereas Love is very sublime and none can force it to happen. It should develop in a natural way. Then only it can be termed  as real love. Even 'forced love' can be  termed as a violence. Hence violence spreads very quickly since the conscious of majority of individuals  get caught  in the fire  of violence.

Answer 14

its simple it takes a lot less effort to hit someone then to love them if people were not so lazy twards doing good thing would be a lot better

Answer 15

Both spread equilly.Because Love always search love and in the same way violence always search violence.And you should know that violence defeats its own end.OK

Answer 16

All the expressions you use to depict "hatred" are in truth just outward expressions of inward repressions of the many things we have to do in order to live together in peace.  Catharsis of the magnitude of war is usually the outer expression of many years of repressed instincts and behaviors finally finding an excuse to have a giant social o****m.  War is where we "let out" on others what we are not allowed to do normally.  The "love" you mention is hard to spread about because we have to teach the people how to live with each other and many times that means repressing some of the more basic instincts and that means the energy must find another form of expression and in that we still have a long ways to go.

Answer 17

People want to feel powerful and violence to make people do what you want them to is easier than gaining their trust and doing the right thing. People are naturally power hungry and are more likely to take the violent path because it is quicker and sometimes more efficient when trying to solve a problem. It just goes to show what is happening to the world....

Answer 18

Violence being a negative energy carries a form of inertia that forces its self forward quickly. It is simple science, and if people would understand that it would be very simple for them to say to themselves, "I'm not feeding this spiral storm today", then step away and move to the side of love.
