If you see a thing very clear,
without distortions, is there then any use of choosing?
There are no alternatives;
alternatives only exist when you shall choose between two physical roads – you
can walk the one road or the other.
But alternatives exist as well
in the mind, which is confused and irrational; therefore it is in discord with
itself, and its actions are violent.
Shakespeare´s play Hamlet is an
illustration of such a mind. It is the mind, which practises violence, which
says that it wants to live peacefully, but when it, as nature, reacts to
challenges, then it practises violence (physical or psychological).
But when you quite clearly are
seeing everything violence means, from the most raw, to the most refined, forms
of violence, then you are free from violence. And that is the culmination of
reason.
