The circle of violence

From Assaad Chaftari

Keywords:

We pretend to be the modern man today, but we are still living out cycles of violence.

Video Interview Transcript

I think that this is the cycle that all of us go through when we deal with another and it comes to violence. I went through a process that I would call ignorance, the feeling that we are different, then fear, hatred, then violence. It does not always come to violence. But at the end violence is not only a military violence. It could be violence which is translated into injustice. It might be violence in the way we deal with this person, either in speaking to him or dealing with him. Even that we pretend to be the modern man today, we are still living some insticts in us you know, and behaving accordingly.
