It’s not just guns on our streets that’s the problem. Violence begins with violence in our hearts, violence in our speech, even violence in our thoughts. 2/4

Anything any of us can do on any given day to be gentler and more peaceful than we were the day before, is a step in the right direction. 3/4

Public policies - from environmental regulations to foreign affairs to animal protection - are examples of collective decision-making in the direction of either violence or peace. 4/4 marianne2024.com/issues/anim…

A society can make that decision and we already have. However, it’s up to individuals that have to want to seek non-violence.

Violence and hate is coming from the top. Half the country isn’t o PO paying attention but soaking in rhetoric from the hollyweird types and media. Schools are being taught hatred for each other over MLK jr. colorblind principles. We had social utopia in 90’s. Cronyism is over.

Maybe your colleagues could stop fanning the flames of hatred, racism, and division.

That choice will never hold because violence is the ultimate and most effective regulator that exists. That's not an endorsement of violence, it's just a natural fact. If there were a more effective societal regulator, it would made itself present by now.
