“Terrorism thrives on administrative violence and injustice; that is the only atmosphere in which it can thrive and grow. It sometimes follows the example of indiscriminate violence from above; it sometimes, though very rarely, sets it from below. But the power above which follows the example from below is on the way to committing suicide.” WaySometimesGrowsViolenceExampleSuicideInjusticeTerrorismAtmosphereThriveAdministrativeCommitting Suicide Book:Karmayogin Source: Karmayogin
“A "snapshot" feature in USA Today listed the five greatest concerns parents and teachers had about children in the '50s: talking out of turn, chewing gum in class, doing homework, stepping out of line, cleaning their rooms. Then it listed the five top concerns of parents today: drug addiction, teenage pregnancy, suicide and homicide, gang violence, anorexia and bulimia. We can also add AIDS, poverty, and homelessness. . . . Between my own childhood and the advent of my motherhood--one short generation--the culture had gone completely mad.” ChildrenTodayTurnsCultureParentLinesMy OwnRoomsTalkingClassPovertyGoneFiveTeacherViolenceGenerationsChildhoodDrugConcernSuicideMadAddAddictionMotherhoodAidsFeaturesUsaPregnancyTeenageCleaningGangHomelessnessHomeworkAnorexiaDrug AddictionDrug AddictAdventGumChewingBulimiaSnapshotsHomicideParents And TeachersChewing GumTeenage PregnancyGang ViolenceAnorexia And Bulimia Author:Mary Blakely

“Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide. It is in vain to say that democracy is less vain, less proud, less selfish, less ambitious, or less avaricious than aristocracy or monarchy. It is not true, in fact, and nowhere appears in history. Those passions are the same in all men, under all forms of simple government, and when unchecked, produce the same effects of fraud, violence, and cruelty.” MenLongFactsGovernmentLastsRememberFormPassionSimpleDemocracyViolenceEffectsProduceProudWasteMurderSuicideSelfishCommitCrueltyVainFraudAmbitiousMonarchySuitableAristocracyDemocracies HaveViolence And Cruelty Author:John Adams
“Assassination, kidnappings and suicide attacks have become too much the standard operating procedure in the Islamic world. So much so that the name of Islam itself has been diminished in the eyes of many people. It is the responsibility of all of us, and particularly those in the Islamic world who care about their religion, to rescue it from its increased association with violence.” PeopleWorldEyeCareResponsibilityViolenceSuicideIslamIslamicKidnapping Author:John F.

“Storytelling is very important. It is through context and relations that we understand the importance of human dignity. The concept means nothing as an abstraction. It's important for us to understand why people do the things they do, including the monsters - the suicide bomber and the war criminal. Understanding is not acceptance. Understanding is exploring the human psyche. If we want to put an end to violence, we need to have the sort of conversation I had with the teenage suicide bomber.” PeopleMeanImportantWarUnderstandingViolenceAcceptanceDignityImportanceRelationSuicideStorytellingExploringTeenageHuman Dignity Author:Payam Akhavan
