Violence: The Delusion of Justice
"Violence is not merely killing another. It is violence when we use a sharp word, when we make a gesture to brush away a person, when we obey because there is fear. So violence isn't merely organized butchery in the name of God, in the name of society or country. Violence is much more subtle, much deeper, and we are inquiring into the very depths of violence." - J. Krishnamurti

Re: Violence: The Delusion of Justice
We feel instinctively that societies with huge income gaps are somehow going wrong. Richard Wilkinson charts the hard data on economic inequality, and shows what gets worse when rich and poor are too far apart: real effects on health, lifespan, even such basic values as trust.

Re: Violence: The Delusion of Justice
Does everyone agree with the evidence presented in these videos? It's just I see a lot of "They deserve to die in the most horrible way possible for doing that" on alot of video threads here. So this was just an attempt to spread some information about what kind of world a cultural and social system like that generates. And possible solutions.  |
