Question

阅读理解。

     I'm confused (困惑) these days. We are taught at home and at school that using violence (暴力) is the
  least civilized (文明的) way to solve problems. For example last week I thought about hitting my friend
 for winning a beautiful shell while we were playing at the beach. I talked with him instead and we came
 to an agreement. If two adults had a disagreement and if they used violence towards each other in order
  to win is it all right?
     When two countries disagree they often fight a war. Why is using violence not okay at home at school
  or in your country but okay between countries? So many people have been killed because of wars not
  only soldiers but ordinary people even small children and babies. And refugees (难民) exist too.
     A war is a great violence like two people fighting over a shell just much bigger. Adults say they are
  fighting wars in order to solve problems and make peace. But can you really "make peace" by killing so
 many people? I don't think bombs (炸弹) can reach people's hearts and change them. Bombs can't
 create love and caring and that's what we need in the world. Why do adults use violence so quickly?
 Why can't they use their wisdom (智慧) and talk it over?
     Adults might say that things are not that easy. But they are the ones that teach us to be kind not to hurt
  people and not to kill. Why don't they act as what they say?
