as one should, no reason to give any energy to things that we don't like.
as Taylor says, one day dancing around in the refrigerator light, some day drunk under a streetlight,
and maybe finally one day back in someone's front porch light
there was also a thread of pacifism in your recent notes too, this has some relevance
is it pacifist to get out of the way of a violent entity or group, and refuse to join the war that they are starting?
i think there is two ways of interpreting the concept of pacifism - one is bending over, the other is gtfo
i'm a pacifist but i am a gtfo pacifist
once the violence inevitably abates i'm still there and the participants are more damaged than me
that's an interesting reframing of that meme about the peasants with pitchforks vs swords.
gtfo pacifism
yeah, i say, keep the sword and avoid conflict
it's an omnipresent meme among self defense practitioners too
violence is to be avoided at all costs except life itself
