Give it a try?

Can we all remember not to take any violent action. Just try not to cause physical or mental harm to anyone. Is that too much to ask?
Anyone with me?

That's all we should ever expect of one another.
It's hard though. Especially on the mental side.

Well lets dwell on that. Maybe we can discover what the problem is and find a solution. What makes it complicated?

We are ourselves, and that is all we are, as much as the nature of reality is such that all things are one, it is impossible to ignore that Perception exists, and that Perception is the basis for reality as we experience it. I have my wants, you have your wants, we all have the same needs and anything beyond that is Want. These things are bound to overlap and to clash. No one can be expected to take the time to think about everyone else all of the time.

Well said, but does 'want' really have to cause damage to other people? There are many things i want, but you can't have everything you want, especially if it conflicts with other people.
Also, early in life we develope our likes and dislikes. What we want is created by us, so can't there be something in our lives that develope a more peaceful want.

It doesn't have to, but it usually does. satisfying a 'Want' usually doesn't really satisfy (as opposed to satisfying a need) it only leads to more want which eventually bumps into the wants of others, leading to conflict. The hardest thing is to distinguish between needs and wants.
But I'm with you. Let's kick some serious non-violent ass. Or, you know, some less violent metaphor...

Humans are inherently self-centered and belittling others in anyway feeds our ego.

Why would one's happiness depend on the unhappiness of others?
I know that's how it works for many people, but it really makes no sense.
Damn our insecure little egos.

The "wants" and desires is a big part of unhappiness, and it is easer to accept it with dislike rather than change it and become stronger in return. To change it would be to give you're self more control over your "wants" and desires of when and where so you will have the strength to "stand down" when some one else can not live w/out having their "wants" because they are impatient and so unaware as a person to acknowledge or see that any one else matters the way they do. It may not seem fair but by doing this you gain so much Patience, self awareness, happiness that you have the mind awareness to let things pass you with out getting huffy puffy and contributing to the problem.... people learn more if you give them room to see there own problem, let them make them selves obvious, they will feel like an ass or will see how rude or whatever they were being and want to be more courteous for the next person and some will not care or even see but at least you can have a smoother existence and a happier every day, and when you let people be in there own rudeness with out it hurting you it helps them. Well I hope I am making sense.

As a general rule I don't find it too hard to live my life in such a way that doesn't harmfully impact others. It's really not difficult to not hurt people. I mean, c'mon.

So looking "cool" or "tough" or "manly" is more important than not hurting other people? That's fucking retarded.

Hurting people is never right. Period. Even if it's in retaliation for something deserving, it's still wrong even if you can rationalize it. It's why I don't support the death penalty. That and the system is far from infallible.

i never said it was right sometimes we have no choice in the matter and sometimes your attackers/abusers know that and hope and expect you not to fight and the harrasment can be endless till there comes a crunch

What I said went over you head. I fail to understand your way of thinking, is it that it is too much effort for a change or that you are satisfied and feel their should be none? I am not attacking you I am learning.

i didnt read your post sorry maybe its just the way i am but i've tried being nice and have been slapped in the face more than enough
i know violence breeds violence but then again i know some people don't care whether it does or not and commit violent acts upon you regardless.i spose i'm trying to say some people want to hurt you whether you believe in violence or not and they'll try too
i'm going by my own experience
what should i do...lay down and let them beat me for their own feelings sake? let them feel sad and guilty after theyve kill me so they'll realize "hey guys,we shouldnt have done that to him,he was anti-violent"?
