Others often let themselves get trapped in a double bind way of life in which the focus of their attention is the violence which we have inflicted upon them, and in resentment and anger they inflict violence upon us in turn. We are trapped in the focus upon violence together. We cooperate in continuing the violence. If we and/or they were to decide to detach from the way of violence, it could come to an end through a gradual healing process; and future generations would not remember with resentment the past violence, and would not perpetuate it. To transcend our way of violence, anger and resentment we must detach from it. It is not an integrative way of life. In it people are not fulfilled with joy. In the way of violence people and their communities disintegrate. Continuing the way of violence does not fix the past or make way for a better future. We cannot fix the past through violence which is expressive of the anger, resentment and wish for revenge engendered through past violence. The more violence that there is to remember, and the more violence which is remembered in resentment; the more violence is initiated. When any reality grows in proportion to how great it is, the reality grows exponentially until the context for the growth of the reality is destroyed by the growth. Violent people destroy themselves, each other, and their communities. It is now possible for violent people to totally destroy the fragile environment on tiny planet earth; then violence will come to an end! There are a multitude of forms of violence. Each may in turn lead to any of the other forms of violence. It is not enough to refrain from some particular forms of violence; for to engage in any form of violence is an invitation to the victims to respond in other forms of violence, and so to widen the scope of violence. The dilemma of dealing with violence is not a technical problem. Technocrats cannot invent now forms of violence through which to transcend the other forms of violence. Increased violence will not help us transcend violence. Violence and the threat of violence is not a means to controlling the violence of other violent people; for people cannot be controlled through any technical means of any kind. Only the appearance of control can be achieved, and that only temporarily through the means of collusive games of mutual self deception. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
