* Compared to most of the postwar period, 2015 has been relatively peaceful
* Compared with previous centuries it has been very peaceful indeed
* 'For 500 years, Western European countries started two new wars a year; since WWII the number has been zero,' points out a Harvard psychologist
* Attacks of the kind that killed civilians in Paris, Ankara, California, Beirut and Garissa in Kenya this year are big news because they are rare, he adds
* Almost every other kind of violence, including murders, capital punishment, domestic violence, torture and hunting, has also fallen
This year may be remembered for barrel bombs, beheadings and the Bataclan massacre, but according to a Harvard psychologist, a remarkable long term downward trend in violence is continuing.

'The news is a systematically misleading way to understand the world,' he told the Thomson Reuters Foundation in an interview.

Revenge is a Poison meant for others, which we end up swallowing ourselves. Vengence is a Dark Light that blinds all who seek it. Don’t argue with Idiots.. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.
