Patent rubbish.
FYI I did not read what followed.
Or non-rubbish.
Probably a prudent decision.
Yes not a non prudent decision.!
Truth, "non-violence" and "pacifism" are very forceful assertions.
Nonviolence is a context of violence as a force assertion, in itself is it empty like violence in itself is empty.commonsense wrote: ↑Mon Sep 02, 2019 6:52 pmNon-Violence is Violence. Non-Violence can never end because Violence has no beginning.
I agree, very well said.Eodnhoj7 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 03, 2019 7:50 amTruth, "non-violence" and "pacifism" are very forceful assertions.
Violence however is empty in and of itself, thus necessitates non violence.
The most original and true stance is to assume both, attachment to either necessitates fault in both as the failure to assume one or then other.
Illusion is divided assumptions.

True but that does not make non violence violent. It makes non violence the obverse of violence.Eodnhoj7 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 03, 2019 7:52 amNonviolence is a context of violence as a force assertion, in itself is it empty like violence in itself is empty.commonsense wrote: ↑Mon Sep 02, 2019 6:52 pmNon-Violence is Violence.

Not violence is a rigid assertion, as rigid it projects itself under a form of various actions as a display of ideological force that dominates those around the observer including the observing him/her self.Sculptor wrote: ↑Tue Sep 03, 2019 11:08 amTrue but that does not make non violence violent.

Non-Violence is Violence. Non-Violence can never end because Violence has no beginning.
Nature or IS-ness does not know violence. Non-violence IS violence only in the sense of ''something'' being knowledgable, which serves to inform the illusory nature of reality in that is does not know it is good nor bad, violent or calm, evil or loving, it just appears that way.surreptitious57 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 03, 2019 5:01 pm Nature is violent because it is in a constant state of motion which is one force acting upon another force
And because of this there is no such thing as non violence there are merely different degrees of violence
Knowledge informs life is dying as it is living simultaneously, as soon as we are born our body is already turning into a disgusting rotting decaying corpse. This cycle seems to be caught up in it's own self-perpetuating insatiable desire to be from which it is never satisfied, and is unable to escape from it's desires, it appears to be a non-extinguishable habit that it's totally addicted to. It's a brutal and violent blood thirsty killing machine that has no morals or justice or puropse other than to eat itself alive forever feeding from itself growing ever bigger each and every moment.surreptitious57 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 03, 2019 5:01 pmThe Second Law Of Thermodynamics is the greatest killer of all time -

No. It is not a rigid assertion at all. It is not any assertion by necessity. It presents no action, no display, no force (particularly no force whatever, by definition), no domination , and it may be no more than a casual observation.
"violence", yes. Non violence, no. That is how logic works.
Violence as a stance necessitates the same assertion of force as a rigid stance, and as such is self defeating.
PLONK
All rigid stances break, as both require attachment to some imagined idea. However a paradox occurs as this implies no morality, which is not really the case either as subjecting oneself to base attachments of appetite is a rigid stance as well as it is attachment to some imagined idea.
I can consume more food, or sleep with a multitude of women, but reptition of these manners of approaching desire only instills habits that act of binding patterns in themselves. Both appetites above in themselves are self defeating as they are never even satisfied, and empty assumptions in themselves.
People create patterns of thought and act which are empty in and of themselves to pursue that which is empty in and of itself, and in creating these patterns they become subject not only to a divided awareness but the pattern itself eventually must be continually assumed when in fact it is just hollow "imaging"...imagining being the giving of form to thought word or deed in an attempt to overcome and dominate there will on reality.
However if one is to assume the will truly for what it is, in assumed it we must assume also that the assumptions we make are fundamentally groundless and empty as well.
Violence and non violence are grounded in the pursuit and manipulation of forms empty in themselves, continuing fundamentally nothing.
Both are extremes and both are negated as extremes when we assume them strictly for what they are...groundless assumptions.
To say one or the other is true is hypocrisy when both manifest themselves in our lives to various degrees....either extreme divides the mind causing it to lose focus on what is needed in the time and space in which it exists.
