The Observer Is The Observed.

Violence Is Not Merely Killing Another. It Is Violence When We Use A Sharp Word, When We Make A Gesture To Brush Away A Person, When We Obey Because There Is Fear. So Violence Isn't Merely Organized Butchery In The Name Of God, In The Name Of Society Or Country. Violence Is Much More Subtle, Much Deeper, And We Are Inquiring Into The Very Depths Of Violence.

But Inwardly We Are As Corrupt As The Person Who Sits In An Office And Plans War-because, We Want To Be Somebody In The Family, In A Group, In Society, In The Nation.

Though We Are All Human Beings, We Have Built Walls Between Ourselves And Our Neighbors Through Nationalism, Through Race, Caste, And Class - Which Again Breeds Isolation, Loneliness.

So Through Identification You Have Pleasure And Pain.

If We Could, And We Must, Establish A Deep Long Abiding Relationship With Nature, With The Actual Trees, The Bushes, The Flowers, The Grass And The Fast Moving Clouds, Then We Would Never Slaughter Another Human Being For Any Reason Whatsoever.
