I’m confused 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?

The people of Bali were happy and had a peaceful way of life. They were not allowed to fight. At one time there had been terrible wars on Bali. Then the people decided it was wrong to fight and have wars. They made rules to keep apart those people who wanted to fight.
Bali was divided into seven small kingdoms. The land around each kingdom was kept empty, and no one lived there. Since the kingdoms did not share the same borders, the people could not fight about them.
On Bali, even the young were not allowed to fight. If two children started a fight over a toy, someone stopped them. When two boys argued, they would agree not to speak to each other. Sometimes they did not talk to each other for months. This gave the boys a chance to forget their anger.
Families who were angry with each other also promised not speak to one another. Their promise was written down, and the whole village knew about it. If they broke their promise, they had to offer presents to their gods.

The martial arts, hand-to-hand fight practices, are popular in the West today. They came from Asia first from China, and later from Japan. Yoga, which in English means “united” , is another ancient practice. It came from India. The martial arts and yoga have much in common in addition to Asian origin and popularity in the West.
Before we talk about that, lei's quickly say something about the main difference between them. A person practising the martial arts uses fighting methods , but a person practising yoga does not. The yogi, a person who practises yoga, does riot fight and is not interested in war or fighting. Like the warrior （武士） , the yogi has mental and physical health as secondary aims. The primary aim of the yogi is the opposite of war, peace and unity with all things. It is clearly a spiritual aim. A calm, quiet mind and a strong, but relaxed body are important to both the warrior and the yogi. Both the mind and the body need energy , but if they have too much energy , they can't remain calm and relaxed. It is necessary to control the amount of energy that flows within one's body.
In hatha yoga, the type of yoga that is especially related to physical health, there are many positions of the body those look like the positions of animals. Both the Indians and the Chinese, from ancient times to the present , respect the way animals use energy and do not waste it. The. yogi imitates （模仿） the nonmoving positions of animals. The warrior imitates the fighting movements of animals. There are hundreds of different yoga positions and practices, and there are hundreds of different martial arts.
However, these practices have much in common, respect for nature and respect for the human body and mind. Both practices are also difficult and the warrior and the yogi use much mental,physical , and even spiritual energy to reach the aims they desire.
