More From Bob Dylan

We must realize that violence is not confined to physical violence. fear is violence, caste discrimination is violence, exploitation of others, however subtle, is violence, segregation is violence, thinking ill of others and condemning others are violence. in order to reduce individual acts of physical violence, we must work to eliminate violence at all levels, mental, verbal, personal, and social, including violence to animals, plants, and all other forms of life.

Welcome to fight club. the first rule of fight club is: you do not talk about fight club. the second rule of fight club is: you do not talk about fight club! third rule of fight club: if someone yells “stop!”, goes limp, or taps out, the fight is over. fourth rule: only two guys to a fight. fifth rule: one fight at a time, fellas. sixth rule: the fights are bare knuckle. no shirt, no shoes, no weapons. seventh rule: fights will go on as long as they have to. and the eighth and final rule: if this is your first time at fight club, you have to fight.

I must remind you that starving a child is violence. suppressing a culture is violence. neglecting school children is violence. punishing a mother and her family is violence. discrimination against a working man is violence. ghetto housing is violence. ignoring medical need is violence. contempt for poverty is violence.

Violence never really deals with the basic evil of the situation. violence may murder the murderer, but it doesn’t murder murder. violence may murder the liar, but it doesn’t murder lie; it doesn’t establish truth. violence may even murder the dishonest man, but it doesn’t murder dishonesty. violence may go to the point of murdering the hater, but it doesn’t murder hate. it may increase hate. it is always a descending spiral leading nowhere. this is the ultimate weakness of violence: it multiplies evil and violence in the universe. it doesn’t solve any problems.
Hate Liars Lying
All violence is injustice. responding to violence with violence is injustice, not only to the other person but also to oneself. responding to violence with violence resolves nothing; it only escalates violence, anger and hatred. it is only with compassion that we can embrace and disintegrate violence. this is true in relationships between individuals as well as in relationships between nations.
Compassion Hatred Violence
I'm concerned about a better world. i'm concerned about justice; i'm concerned about brotherhood; i'm concerned about truth. and when one is concerned about that, he can never advocate violence. for through violence you may murder a murderer, but you can't murder murder. through violence you may murder a liar, but you can't establish truth. through violence you may murder a hater, but you can't murder hate through violence. darkness cannot put out darkness; only light can do that.
