Our domestic culture of behavior largely is mixed with violence, and in this regard to develop an adequate attitude towards aggression encompasses well-known difficulties. TV shows filled with scenes of violence and horror. Murder, blood, fighting, shooting, violence against people and animals became the figurative language of mass media. Teachers noted the rising trend of unmotivated aggression in children of different ages. Aggression is increasingly becoming a tool of energy discharge. However, increasing the number of people do not accept violence in all its manifestations. The polarization of positions and views is growing, and thereby injected a schizophrenic attitude to the aggression in society: some are trying to sound the alarm and call upon everyone and everything - yet again! - To take over the upbringing of children, others placidly watching what is happening, others genuinely enjoy the film and video production, operating a brutal type of behavior.

What happens? Life without violence - a myth? Why do we both look to violence as a very real evil, and at the same time, absorbed in the contemplation of this most "evil" and even in many ways identify with him? During the period of adolescent maturation the male ego is experiencing a strong influx of aggressive energy. This is reflected in the mythological motif of "warring brothers, and later - in the archetype of the Hero. The essence of these reasons is that the masculine teenager achieves self-awareness by sharing his mental picture of the world into two opposing components: a creative (creative) and destructive. Instinctive, primal beginning, symbolized by the biblical Cain and Romulus legend, embodies a negative effect male psyche, aimed at self-destruction (in extreme terms - suicide), and regression.

Such a mental avtoagressiya not yet focused on the Great Mother, who symbolizes the unconscious urge to return to the womb. Thus, one of the brothers always carries a destructive beginning. It embodies the seed of aggression, which teenager should integrate and utilize a so as to become a hero and combat "negative mother". For example, in the epic Gilgamesh and Enkidu enter the fray with each other already at the first meeting. However, after initiating a trial of force both become inseparable friends and continue to fight side by side.

In our case, this means that if a teenager during his initiation into adulthood somehow failed to successfully integrate its aggression, symbolized by the primitive brother, he, of course, risks to break his father's car, addicted to drugs, to be excluded from school and eventually, to become "completely lost." But on the other hand, it can successfully enter into "adult" state, but to pass for "good boy", and eventually did lose necessary for the successful survival of their aggression.

Renowned expert on ancient Greek civilization Carl Kerényi wrote that in the initiation rituals of the ancient Greeks every adolescent male was obliged to commit a crime against the divine order. We're still seeing a similar motif archetypal crime of unlawful acts of destructive teens. It seems true that men never done anything wrong in my life will inevitably reach adulthood with a lack of aggressiveness. As compensation for such shortages of waiting for a possible love drama or dissent, or any otreagirovanie directed against the collective norms (chicanery, the search for justice, etc.).

Except for military training, military service (which, incidentally, often appears in dreams as a symbol of initiation) and professional sports in our society there is little of the rituals that in cultures of the past were considered important and necessary to help young people integrate their aggression . But such integration is vital, because it consolidates the male ego against regressive unconscious distractions to the side of passivity, depression, inertia, doubt and uncertainty.

"War is the father of all things - Heraclitus spoke once - but that the father devours its children, as Kronos." This is just one aspect of the problem, but Heraclitus said about the other, in formulating the principle of harmony, concord, peace, without which nothing is born and nothing remains. Here and there the famous Heraclitean character bow and lyre. Onions have a system of opposing forces, and the more repulsive voltage poles, the better bow. Reduce or eliminate the resistance of both sides of onion - to destroy the best tool. But the string of onions can be transformed into a string lyre. Lear is based on the same principle as the bow: a bow polychord, transformed or sublimated "bow. Here we can personally see how the confrontation arises from the harmony ...

Polyphonic and varied, according to Heraclitus, the harmony of the cosmos, as the harmony of the bow and the lyre, "says Plutarch. Bow and the lyre in his principle of "identical", and yet opposites like life and death, for death is the bow and the lyre - the joy of life. As war and peace, as transfigured by violence. Aggression and violence between different social formations, as well as between individuals, will remain forever. They are part of the human condition, part of our "weather", "disaster", a kind of "winds", "hurricanes", "ebb and flow." With the appropriate knowledge and understanding, we may be better able to control our movement through these elements, manage, so that the explosive forces are not unique to the atom, but also our human nature, instead of destroying the planet and ourselves, have become the creative factors that bring benefit and deepen the culture.
