A "meme" is a recently discovered concept that refers to a self replicating idea that lodges itself in the mind and reproduces itself in thought and action in much the same way that a biological virus exploits a living cell to replicate itself.
Violence and trauma can create a meme in the mind and the body that wants to self replicate itself by committing violence and causing trauma in a similar manner.
This seems to be a "natural" function of the mind, and unfortunately can only be stopped with much time and self conscious effort.
This seems to be a central complicating issue in human relationships, organizations, and living arrangements.
Violence is a meme.
