I can't accept that, and no one should.

A monk asked Pa Ling, "What is the Blown Hair Sword? " Pa Ling said, "Each branch of coral supports the moon"

At least it's not trying to make you an obedient slave

I still don't know what you mean; I was hoping for something specific (i.e. not metaphors or implied and unclear solutions).

[squarefoot]

I'm not the OP, mine was an interpretation. My take is that being against violence is a good thing unless it leads to the point of self destruction.
