How do you react to violence?

Posted on Oct 2nd, 2008 by Resurrected1 : Ariela -Quantum Leaper Resurrected1
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for October 02, 2008:

This is so totally not an enlightened response...it is a sarcastic one, tinged with the way I really feel.

To all violent people...to all suicide bombers...to all murderers and rapists and child molesters....to all hate and war-mongers, I SAY :

To the Violent Ones I Say...

WhooHoo!  I am secretly laughing.  I am trying not to, but dammit! I like your post on a lot of levels.  I don't like violence - especially violent “entertainment”.

Well, technically, I didn't say it…that chick with the glasses said it on her sign :-D

Andrew, Mimi, MorningStar…Thank You (I won't tell anyone you were here and laughing, lol)

There is a Taoist/Buddhist saying that goes something like, “If you are thinking of sticking a sparrow with a pin, stick yourself first to see how it feels.”

That's all I'm saying…most people who commit violent acts upon another can't take the least amount of pain Themselves…

The Smiley Gods shut me up before I could go further :-D LOL

LOL, Shirley…

I'm in NY, don't forget…Violence exists right around the corner, right next door. You know I'm all for peace and random acts of kindness and that sort of thing… but when violence touches your own personal world…when you are confronted with a life or death situation, I hope your survival instinct kicks in.
People will be all too happy to punch your other cheek should you offer it to them.
