I agree. However to tame the aggressive nature in ourselves and others we need to be more powerful than the corresponding selves. In the end most people can be happy if they can tame themselves. But the problem is that there are untamed people stronger, smarter and more powerful than most of us.
And as far as I know you can't overwrite violence with togetherness, but the other way around is easy.
“Gradually it was disclosed to me that the line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either -- but right through every human heart -- and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. And even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained. And even in the best of all hearts, there remains ... an unuprooted small corner of evil.” - Alexander Solzhenitzen
