an opinion piece about violence

Violence is the intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual, against a person, or against a group or community, that either results in or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury, death, psychological harm, maldevelopment or deprivation.^[2] This definition associates intentionality with the committing of the act itself, irrespective of the outcome it produces.

Pacifism is opposition to war and violence. The term "pacifism" was coined by the French peace campaigner Émile Arnaud (1864–1921) and adopted by other peace activists at the tenth Universal Peace Congress in Glasgow in 1901.^[1] The concept is an ancient one that goes back to the teachings of Hinduism, much earlier than Buddhism's existence. The Hindu scripture Mahabharata existed by 800-900 BCE^[2] whereas Buddhism was born by 600-400 BCE.^[3] The Mahabharata said about Ahimsa:

"Ahimsa is the highest Dharma, Ahimsa is the best austerity, Ahimsa is the greatest gift, Ahimsa is the highest self-control, Ahimsa is the highest sacrifice, Ahimsa is the highest power, Ahimsa is the highest friend, Ahimsa is the highest truth, Ahimsa is the highest teaching."^[4] (Mahabharat XIII:116:37-4).

As a pacifist  i fight-less,

but im going back 2:

"as long as im defending myself, or others, i shall "..


otherwise ..


actually i know i might sound crazy but it was always more like:


 "i can deal with whatever",


but iF c others hurting innocent ppl then i go up in arms,


ima have 2 start 2 applying that 2 myself..


somehow i thought i didn't have 2 fight any more i guess..


thought people were done with violence,


at least for a long time,


since we had a pointless bullshit war over oil and money ,


then occupy;


 which was basically a peaceful revolution..


could have gotten very violent


&


very quickly


&


especially with all those people


with everything 2 gain


&


nothing 2 lose,


and then the election battles..


like WtF! ..


&


trust ..


if


tea party had won we would have had a mass exodus


&


 the rest would b fighting it out amongst themselves;



that


would have just turned


that


 violent.
