There's more than one way to sense violence.

Senseless violence is, almost by definition, hard to understand. Not that I can understand terrorists who kill from hate, but at least we can identify a reason - a terrifying one, to be sure, grounded in a violent belief system - for what they do. Two gangs go to war. Extremists kill in the name of belief.

In some cases non-violence requires more militancy than violence.

Violence is a calm that disturbs you.

I don't like violence.

I do not like violence.

Non-violence and truth are inseparable and presuppose one another.

I'm not a violent person; I'm not interested in violence.
