Mental violence is a serious thing. It seems like nothing but the more we become aware of it and the more we experience it from pothers we see that it is a serious thing.
We may not be violent physically but we can be violent in word and thought.
To be violent in thought is not only about imagining violent fight scenes with guns and swords all the time. It has a lot to do with our interactions with the thoughts and thinking of others.
Very true quote, we get violent when we don't know how or lack the capacity to cope with a situation and its impressions.
There is physical, verbal and mental violence.
Even teachers can be mentally violent towards their students...
Mental violence with others is when we attack, or cut off the thoughts and ideas of others.
When we don't listen and we don't understand their points, when we don't explain when we don't give others the right to express their thoughts and ideas then we are mentally violent.
Being mentally violent doesn't give us mental peace. It makes meditation very difficult, much more difficult than it is and it shows that there is a rigidity in our mind.
