SELF-DEFENSE; SUB-PRINCIPLE: Socio-emotional

Blog Article/Post Caveat (Read First Please: Click the Link)

This is defined as a psychological theory that we humans develop personality through repeating series of crises and resolution. I look at it as the development or increase maturity of our social emotional development. In order to achieve that goal we have to move away from what some call, “Our comfort zones.” 

Humans tend to gravitate toward those things and values and life styles that bring comfort along with positive gratifications but that does not address the human conditions of survival as they are achieved through conflict and violence. It is also how humans tend to lean heavily toward the emotional drive of our monkey brains and that means gaining personal and social comfort zones that satisfy the monkeys needs. Although that can be a necessarily good thing it comes to create issues in modern society when the monkey dominates our lives and that is why we need to create a solid and balanced social emotional maturity. 

It comes down to a social maturity of emotions so when we encounter conflicts of a nature that could and would lead to violence of an inappropriate level we need to have a level of maturity that allows us to rein in our emotional monkey brain so our human logical brain and our lizard brain can evaluate and select proper actions accordingly from our procedural zombie programmed memory.
