This excerpt from a YouTube video ('This Is Why Wars Happen' by Josh Trent) argues that widespread violence—including wars and murders—stems from a lack of emotional education and regulation. Trent claims feeling and processing emotions is a foundational skill most people were never taught, and frames emotional regulation as a powerful tool to prevent large-scale harm.

Feeling our feelings is the most powerful tool in the universe. Full stop. Why do you think wars happen? Why do you think murder happens? Why do you think horrendous things happen around the world? It's because no one ever taught us how to feel. Ever. No one ever taught us how to feel. Unless you were one of the lucky ones where your parents modeled this beautiful emotional regulation for you.
