Violence
Don’t Rationalize Violence
Rationalize violence is like saying you may use violence because others are using it too. That is not true.
A lot of people say ‘that woman is using violence, or my father uses violence, so I am allowed to use violence too’.
You’re not allowed to do use violence because someone else is using violence. Then you’re generalizing violence and hurting people's lives, with words or physically.
This is generalizing violence because you want power over the situation. You can’t control the situation with a normal conversation to express what you feel. And therefore you use violence.
But let’s see first what rationalize exactly means:
to try to find reasons to explain your behaviour, decisions, etc.
Everything is for a reason to punch someone in the face when you’re walking by someone else — who is different than you are — and you punch him in the face. Mostly it happens with colored people, or with people not belonging to your group.
If you rationalize violence, you will end up being violent and you find it normal to be violent when you don’t get what you want.
It also that people use violence when others aren’t being the same as you are, as well as they don’t think the same you think.
Rationalizing violence, it means you’re weak to express your vulnerability by expressing — in a normal way — how you feel and what you think, as a human being. The humanity we need right now.
I also think violence is very dangerous.
