Document Summary

A common result: we end up in a common cycle of violence. Violence is a form of resourcelessness; in other words, we use violence when we lack the creativity to come up with a nonviolent solution (ursula franklin) If we equate power without ability to hurt, there is no place for peace in this universe. kenneth bolding: asymmetric conflict and cyclical violence.
