Jesus also told us to love our enemies.that way they cant say anything bad about you.
well they could,but it would be unfounded.
They could still kill you.
People are organised like pigs, sheep and cattle.Mere cogs in a wheel.They are dispossed of their autonomous being.When people are actually themselves and Self/Reality is the basis of action and intent then everything is in harmony.
"How does one respond sanely and effectively when there is violence? How do you make peace with the fact that, in order to end coercion, you may have to coerce the coercers?
"That is a tough one. When Christopher Columbus arrived on these shores, the peaceful indigenous people greeted him with open arms. The smart thing to have done, I suppose, would have been to cut his throat. I don't think many people would argue with that, or if they would, they probably have not experienced violence to their own person, family, or community. But the question arises: among these peaceful people, where would the idea to use violence have come from? It was not their way.
Perhaps we must be what we must overcome. German philosopher Theodore Adorno talks aout overcoming alienation with alienation. How does that work? I don't know, but I think about it. I've thought a lot about how I can best serve -- and I realize that I'm privileged with a greater number of options than many -- but for right now I'm comfortable with cultural critique. For me, words are a better weapon than a gun. "
I prefer the Obi-wan kenobi , Gnostic thing.The body is only going to wormfeed anyway
Cause nobody really cares about their neighbor as much, they love themselves more
Most humans pay too much attention to the media and organized religion to remember to love anything except themselves. We are all connected but we buy into false ideals and perceived 'differences', most of which are inaccurate.
We've been corrupted by fear-mongering bastards. Just like you herzog. People who try to get us to believe that the best defense is your opponent bleeding on the ground.
