A discussion ... about Violence
.


Everything we are ... from the color of our skin, to the
very language we think in, is based upon Violence.

More specifically, one culture winning out over another culture.


Does violence really beget more violence?

Or is it just another event in a long cycle of the human experience?


On a long enough timeline, even Gandhi would have had his limits ...

Re: A discussion ... about Violence
one side is always unable/not want to communicate - to bring a solution

without communication - it is skipped
(override with hate, which is nothing more than little information avaliable.. = little helping relations to fill the gap, bad associations and predjudices from religion & culture doesnt help here either... so man fights with it inside, this fight manifests itself as mans behaviour..
it is merely a hidden hemisphere inter-action/fight..

violence is a product of our method of thinking

changing the method/approach to reality,
will change our reaction/behaviour

our behaviour is read by others day by day,
it is in turn seen as an example to live by
(not those atractive and stunning TV versions.. this one is intended to be so influental.. and we should be aware of its power to present your reactions/oppinions, you then use even if you dont know abut it! it was programmed silently into your brain as a "fact" and much more than that, you are addicted to this way of getting information satisfying you..)

(This "highest ideal" way, is the slowest one to bring peace to the world, but surely the most working)

It depends on if you kill with love and forgiveness, or hate and revenge.

Re: A discussion ... about Violence
love is the ammount of your understanding you give for free, even if you know it can hurt you

if LIFE wants to continue, then:

1. Nature must get rid of humans (we have no big roles here)
or
2. Nature should change them (bringing the LIFE as the highest value again, to preserve itself) - (we have a goal here.. haloo)

Re: A discussion ... about Violence
Yes! Violence begets violence. It reminds of that quote "why do we kill people who kill people to show that killing people is wrong" hello? If we keep up these shenanigans we are only to expect these things to start happening to us. In fact it's amazing they have not already. We need to stop trying to take over cultures and just be. Much love too you OP. Thanks for listening.

Based upon the nature of man, I think he may have meant to say:

"i will forget how to kill my fellow man"



Killing in anger is easy; history has clearly shown that.
A gun, a knife, or a stone is easy to yield in anger.


But stopping oneself can be quite difficult, especially
when an aggressor is trying to provoke violence of you.

Re: A discussion ... about Violence
i could try to write an elegant post about how i feel about violence and hate with many quotes that have been listed here....
so i will bless you with a song that i listen to whenever i myself get bogged down with all the hate and violence enough that racist thoughts can begin to flow through my head.
i must keep in my heart that ONE DAY this will ALL not be.
that ONE DAY all the violence will stop.
and everyone might just co-exist in PEACE...
ONE DAY

kitty Uh oh, that was a slip up. Gandhi's an arsehole because of what he said in a letter about Jewish people in Germany during WWII.

Re: A discussion ... about Violence
statism is violence.i agree with the civil disobedience,non co operation principle but you cant fight violence with non violence.there has to be balance.the most important thing is recognise where the division lies,which is not any division perpetuated by the state.ie racism, sexism, generationism but anarchism [freedom] and statism [Initiation of force]
searching for intelligent life in all its forms without judgement.
