Where it is approved, it may be called  getting on in the world,  that is, stepping on others  heads so that you can get to the top. This is success in a worldly sense, but not in a Buddhist one. It is also approved of for men (though not by them for women!) as being a mark of mastery and virility, yet it will never bring happiness. For if people are mastered forcibly, then how will happiness follow for the one who inflicts suffering? The rationale is that  progress,  that materialistic god so widely worshipped, will not come about unless force and power are used. But this argument does not take into account the fact that, sooner or later, what is won by aggression will surely be lost through conflict.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat does the Buddha say about aggression?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003chr\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"iframe-container\"\u003e \u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/717192224?quality=1080p\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center\"\u003e    \u003cp\u003e\u003cinput type=\"button\" onclick=\"window.location='https:\/\/drive.google.com\/uc?export=download\u0026amp;id=1uEzbj6so4tcke9o5W8XGzf4O9K-n7Vbz';_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Downloads', 'audiobooks_audio', 'Aggression, War, and Conflict_SingleMP3']);\" name=\"Add\" value=\"Download Single File (20MB)\" class=\"btn\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003e\u003cinput type=\"button\" onclick=\"window.location='https:\/\/drive.google.com\/uc?export=download\u0026amp;id=1uEqOx3yt5TOu2LDwpBlbGGR1pdSONI_B';_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Downloads', 'audiobooks_audio', 'Aggression, War, and Conflict_ChaptersMP3']);\" name=\"Add\" value=\"Download Chapters (20MB)\" class=\"btn\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/qcjqJeEoKMY\" target=\"_blank\" id=\"youtube_link\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eView on YouTube\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003chr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/Audiobooks_c_40.html\"\u003eCheck out our complete audiobook catalog.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eWe are grateful to the volunteers who offered their time and skills creating this product so that we can offer it freely.
