Revenge Tables Violence

More From Frank Herbert

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.
Fear Thinking Animal
With the establishment of a relationship of oppression, violence has already begun. never in history has violence been initiated by the oppressed. how could they be the initiators, if they themselves are the result of violence? how could they be the sponsors of something objective whose objective inauguration called forth their existence as oppressed? there would be no oppressed had there been no prior of violence to establish their subjugation.
Would Be Violence Oppression
Simply coming to the perpetrator and delivering the message is nozick's definition of revenge. and in that sense, adi is exacting revenge. when people ask, "does adi want revenge?" - they mean violent revenge. but in nozick's formulation, it is revenge. that is the essence of revenge.
Revenge Mean Essence
It would be hard to find a single example in history in which a group that cast more than 50 percent of the vote got away with calling itself the victim... women are the only 'oppressed' group to share the same parents as the 'oppressor'; to be born into the middle class and upper class as frequently as the 'oppressor'; to own more of the culture's luxury items than the 'oppressor'.
Class Luxury Parent
It was during those long and lonely years that my hunger for the freedom of my own people became a hunger for the freedom of all people, white and black. i knew as well as i knew anything that the oppressor must be liberated just as surely as the oppressed. a man who takes away another man's freedom is a prisoner of hatred, he is locked behind the bars of prejudice and narrow-mindedness. i am not truly free if i am taking away someone else's freedom, just as surely as i am not free when my freedom is taken from me. the oppressed and the oppressor alike are robbed of their humanity.
Lonely Taken Men
How can the oppressed, as divided, unauthentic beings, participate in developing the pedagogy of their liberation? only as they discover themselves to be 'hosts' of the oppressor can they contribute to the midwifery of their liberating pedagogy. as long as they live in the duality in which to be is to be like and to be like is to be like the oppressor, this contribution is impossible. the pedagogy of the oppressed is an instrument for their critical discovery that both they and their oppressors are manifestations of dehumanization.
Discovery Long Impossible
Similar Quotes
It is a common sentence that knowledge is power; but who hath duly considered or set forth the power of ignorance? knowledge slowly builds up what ignorance in an hour pulls down. knowledge, through patient and frugal centuries, enlarges discovery and makes record of it; ignorance, wanting its day's dinner, lights a fire with the record, and gives a flavour to its one roast with the burnt souls of many generations.
Ignorance Discovery Fire
It is true that my discovery of lsd was a chance discovery, but it was the outcome of planned experiments and these experiments took place in the framework of systematic pharmaceutical, chemical research. it could better be described as serendipity.
Discovery Serendipity Research
Hinduism has made marvelous discoveries in things of religion, of the spirit, of the soul. we have no eye for these great and fine discoveries. we are dazzled by the material progress that western science has made. ancient india has survived because hinduism was not developed along material but spiritual lines.
Spiritual Eye Discovery
It took only seconds for me to make these discoveries, but even in that short time, my stomach nearly jumped through my mouth trying to reach the food.
