Violence

“I say I’m a pacifist because I’m a violent son of a bitch. I’m a Texan. I can feel it in every bone I’ve got. And I hate the language of pacifism because it’s too passive. But by avowing it, I create expectations in others that hopefully will help me live faithfully to what I know is true but that I have no confidence in my own ability to live it at all. That’s part of what nonviolence is-the attempt to make our lives vulnerable to others in a way that we need one another. To be against war-which is clearly violent-is a good place to start. But you never know where the violence is in your own life. To say you’re nonviolent is not some position of self-righteousness-you kill and I don’t. It’s rather to make your life available to others in a way that they can help you discover ways you’re implicated in violence that you hadn’t even noticed.” Stanley Hauerwas
