End Of Violence

I agree with Krishnamurti that separation, all separation, breeds violence. Separation creates other, sees other as an object, and leads to competition, defending self, and violence. All incidents of anger in my life have been expressions of violence as I wanted to assert myself, get even, win, control, defeat, hurt, or crush the other. I felt that anger and violence in relation to a man who once cheated me out of money. Now that's ashes -- I think that if I stir the ashes I could reawaken anger -- I don't go there, but here I am talking about it. What helps me with anger is my now seeing all as one. There is difference but no separation. We and this world are one, which evokes my care, allowing, working together, helping. I've come to see anger as unnecessary. I can express, disagree, object, assert without being angry -- I'm not fully there yet but I'm moving in that direction.
