To some in society violence is a
language, a way of communication - a very primitive
language -but a means of discourse nonetheless. If you don't
speak to them in their own tongue, then they will not
understand you. This is where the contention begins.
So, we have a contradiction in play here: violence is wrong
but sometimes we have to employ it. I know that the
uninitiated are already up in arms, probably scribbling away
discontent to the letters page as we speak. I truly understand
how they feel, because I feel the same way, but I fear that
they will never be convinced by words, and their experience
of life is often not broad enough to give them another
perspective.
