Constraining Violent Impulses

Violence is a connotation rather than a denotation. Biological life is an aggregate of metabolisms, and metabolisms either anabolize, catabolize, or both.
According to The RMCM (http://www.rationalmechanisms.com) "violence" is an implementation of a catabolic mechanism. This is an intrinsic attribute of male intuition. If one is to provide for offspring and mates, then one must first bring metabolites into the family metabolism through catabolisis, so that meals can be implemented, anabolisis.

In secular terms

The only way to constrain any behavior is to channel it into another behavior, reshape it.
