“We live in a culture of violence.”

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

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

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

“All violence demands reform, and all violence desperately begs to be healed.”

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

“Begin to see the violence around you; begin to see the violence within you.”
