I think the evolution of mankind is not terminated. We have to go to peace and love. The highest levels of the mind and the conscience is inhibition. The more you're evolving in the phylum, in the evolution of life, the more you are able to inhibit your drives, your behaviors. Nonviolence is the achievement of violence.
