“We are all a part of a culture of violence that dominates every aspect of our lives.”

“We live in a culture of violence.”

“We have been trained by a culture of violence and we are all agents of passive violence.”

“We all know there is something wrong with our culture, the state of our world, and with ourselves.”

“Our minds of infinite possibilities have been plowed, seeded and cultivated by every word, institution and sacred belief we hold dear, to produce a foul harvest of exclusion, apathy, brute domination and death.”

“We are all artificial and have been unnaturally changed by violence and unwholesome conditioning.”

“We must let our every act be out of love, and for the greater good of all.”
