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...

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.

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"?

I am totally non violent(I fought a lil bit when I was younger but nothing big)...if someone fucked with a friend or my girl tho I'd be on em like white on rice(using lame lil remarks like that as I pummel :P)
seriously tho I feel like violence in most cases is fuckin stupid and pointless...but again if someone I loved was in trouble I would resort to it in a flash
I also love competitive violence...boxing ufc pride fc...fucking LOVE that shit...besides thats not really about hurting someone its about skill...those guys have about as much respect as u can have for another human being as well

I think there's a difference between defending yourself and provoking or starting some sort of violence. For instance, the only time I can imagine I would be inclined to use any sort of 'violence' per-se would be if someone was actually physically harming me. Otherwise, if they were just threatening me or taunting me or anything else, I'd try to find a way around a violent resolution.

exactly but what if the taunters are doing things like disturbing your childrens sleep,threatening them infront of you and when you call the law about it,they say,"we cant do nothing unless we catch them in the act or commit a crime" and as soon as the law leaves they start again?
when i tried to approach them and make friends they laughed and told me to 'get fucked,we not to know you' and started harrassing me and my kids 10 times worse?
what if they threw common courtesy/decency out on the street and stepped on it just to make your life a misery? when it got to the crucnh,two attacked me with a pipe and i fought for my life and one nearly died the law accused me of being maliciously violent and the judge found me 'not guilty' so to me,i was judged by my accusers peers and did what any reasonable man/father would have done and i'd do it again if i had too

I see where you are coming from, It is a dedication and you have to want to stay away from having that kind of influence in your life, If you are constantly around situations that make you feel like defending your self or look like a "puss" then you should think about what part of that negative stuff is a must have and remove from your life, That way when you have to use your patience to let some one have theirs even if they don't "deserve" it you will have it and feel good for it. People usually feel like an ass and even if they don't show it they know you are right and don't think of you as a "puss" If anything they will feel like the"puss".

also like to mention that watching pride fc/ufc/boxing is very inspiring for me...to watch someone keep fighting when their nose and hand is broken..barely able to stand from taking numerous blows...to never give up even when in horrible physical pain and risking possible brain damage or maybe even their life...to keep fighting till the end and never be satisfied coming in 2nd...when I watch guys able to do that it gives me great hope that I will be able to overcome the battles I face
I have sooo much respect for competitive fighters...there is no other sport that even compares imo

Theres a phenomenon in Britain known as football Casuals.These people have good jobs,families, etc,but every Satarday they go and fight with whoever their team draws.Its all arranged on mobile phones to try to keep ahead of Dibble.Anyways, they kick the shit out of each other,and put the results on the web.Whats weird,is they all sit down and have a drink, and a laugh about it later, even tho some of them lose eyes/get scarred etc. Inanswer to the question,i always try to use violence as sparingly as possible.
