Episode description

Listener question: In you latest podcast you spoke about violence and that it is happening as it is the optimal behaviour at the given moment due to learned belief and conditoning, that there is no deciding self and that it is logical and impersonal. 
I see freedom in this as it frees me of the obligation "to forgive and forget" and I love that there only remains sanity. I see that my father who was prone to violent outbursts could not act differently given that what he believed and learned in his youth.

Nevertheless, one question remains: What about the position of the real victims in this, the person or even small child that has been molested and harmed perhaps even for years. Or even those locked up inconcentration camps.
Sorry that my brain always goes for the extremes, but it refuses to be calm without getting the answer.
