i know i wasnt tryin to call you out or anythin and i agree, its a great goal. but i do believe violence is necessary and maybe thats unfortunate but its just reality to me.
i look at it like this. if im a pacifist and im totally anti-violence, but theres a guy who is the opposite of that and is a psycho, then his violence is gonna trump my peacefulness in the fact that he is goin to kill me if i dont adapt and use violence myself
thats not a likely scenario but the way i look at it. i dont agree with the wars the usa has initiated recently, but was wwII necessary?? wwI? i mean sometimes i think violence is necessry especially as a reactionary measure.
and i cant stand hippies because i view them as ppl not in touch with reality. total peacefulness is somethin to strive for but will never happen. and im sayin that as, just because we dont achieve total peacefulness doesnt make the cause or outcome unsuccesful. strive for it, but dont get caught up in thinkin its a reality that will ever happen. too many psychos with different beliefs to be achieved.
