Violence

If somebody tries to involve you in a violent situation, try to retreat, if that is not possible, protect yourself and fight your way out with the least possible harm for yourself and others.

If somebody tries to do you harm of threatens your life first try to immobilize him or her, if that is not possible do what you have to do but don't forget it is always better to break someone's arm than to kill someone.

If you see that someone is in need of help, do what you must to protect them but remember: breaking an arm...

If it is possible, try to talk yourself out of a conflict, it is the better path.

I personally don't believe in total pacifism. I don't think that letting myself be beaten up by someone is going to end violence. I believe that if I show that I'm capable to protect myself the aggressor may think twice before he beats up the next. I chose 'may' and not 'will' because some just don't learn and have to learn it the hard way.

I believe in the Ten Commandments, and in my book it is not thou shall not murder but thou shall not kill. Every life is sacred, even that of the aggressor. There are people who have done horrible things and at some point at there life had a complete turn around .If we kill somebody because He or She has killed; we take from them the possibility of change. We take from them possibility for their soul and individual incarnation to turn from dark to light.

I am not saying that given some circumstances, I would not kill .I am human and therefore fallible .It s human nature to try to survive. But I will say that I will do my damnedest to try to save a life even that of an aggressor. And there is always the question of faith, do I trust GOD enough to get me out of the situation without having to break an elemental law, just because I fear for my wellbeing …

I mean if GOD wants me dead nothing will save me. I can hide all I like , never leave my house ,use fire or pointy objects ,disinfect everything ,recycle my air waste ect. If HE wants me dead I could do all that and still have a plain crash into my house whilst I am sitting on my toilet. I am digressing :P

Back to the subject of violence …


If you decide to use violence be sure of what you are doing and the consequences for yourself and others. And then do it with a strong heart
And effectively or don’t do it all

I recommend martial arts for those who wish to protect themselves

If you decide to use weapons, never, and I mean never, use a weapon you do not master or which force you can not control. If you use weapons you should be responsible enough to look into some medical material about gun- and knife wounds and should visit your local police department and let them show you some of the homicide files. If it is still your wish to use them go ahead but before putting them to use. Get somebody to teach you how to use them. The last thing this world needs is another trigger happy idiot and it ain’t cool shooting oneself in ones own foot or killing innocent bystanders .

Don't even try to tell me that you are carrying that gun around and are not intending to use it or at least haven't thought about it. A gun is not a toy, a .45 fired on short distance can blow a hole as big as a tennis ball, that means a hell of a lot of blood and pain. This is the real world and not a vid-game or a TV series. Most people do not fall unconscious when hit, because of the blood loss they often go into spasms, sometimes suffocate on their own blood and do not so silently. It is not a pretty sight and not very heroic. Death inflicted by gun- or knife wounds is by no means painless, so remember that the next time you feel like shooting someone for real.

War is a form of violence that has no legitimacy whatsoever in my eyes. The victims of war are usually children, the old and the weak. The ones who profit from it are usually the industry and the politicians. It is easy to sit on your sofa and let someone do the dirty work ,but the truth is that every one that is killed in a war on what ever side is a person ,with hopes dreams and potential that is lost forever in time when put to death for some idiotic political cause .

Terrorism doesn't work, killing innocent people for what cause ever won't change things, it has always made things worse. And the people that do it are not really interested in there cause any way its just a dammed ego trip .

If you feel that slavery is something you want to do something about (yes, believe it or not, slavery still exists) - go free them, killing the slave master and then walking away won't help them (by the way: freeing them won't help them either if you don't help them find a way to support themselves afterward).

As with everything else you should be in control of what you do and choose to act and not let make any-one responsible for your choices.

NUFF SAID !
