Human realm is also a good realm. Think about that.
In kama loka, aggression is there in both human and deva realms. Of course, it is less in deva realms compared to the human realm.
Only in brahma realms, aggression is not manifested. Of course, most of them have not removed dosa (hate): Those who get there through anariya jhana still have dosa as anusaya (hidden or suppressed); when they are reborn in the human realm, dosa will again be manifested.
P.S. Tavatimsa devas are sometimes called “sura devas” in comparison to “asura devas“, and the war between the two sides is sometimes called the “sura asura war”.
“Sura” of course is the opposite of “asura“: clever and “quick thinking”.
