so i just read this book

the power of non-violence: writings by advocates of peace

and it is an amazing read, enlightning as hell. anyone who feels that war, violence, fear tactics and retaliation is just absurd should check this book out. i am a pretty violent person by nature, i am easily frustrated and just do what i know best, hit. after a long talk with a good friend of mine i started into reading some things about non-violence and kinda started to understand. this book however laid it all out nice and simple and it hit me (metaphorically of course) hard, any sort of violence is stupid, it solves nothing other then securing the fear tactic which only works so much and for so long. read this book, do yourself the favor.

thanks, i'll make sure to check it out. sounds really interesting.
