.      Stopping violence isn’t easy.  There is plenty of violence in America and in the world.   More laws may help (but only to a very limited extent)… but more than that we need to offer people more educationally.   We need to fundamentally change (as a society) at a level much deeper.  We need to change to where there’s not so much separation… separation between others and separation between education and (integral, deep awareness beyond mere “knowing”).   If we teach people to merely be competitive, to take from others, to exploit and use others… we will have failed.  Many are the product of their education… and laws will not confine those who are determined to exploit them.  These things are age-old; they are not anything new.

.    from the ancient Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu:

.

.

.      The more laws and restrictions there are

.      The poorer people become.

.      The sharper men’s weapons,

.      The more trouble in the land.

.      The more ingenious and clever men are,

.      The more strange things happen.

.      The more rules and regulations,

.      The more thieves and robbers.
