This much is clear: violence breeds violence, repression brings retaliation, and only a cleansing of our whole society can remove this sickness from our soul.
If we live according to the law "an eye for an eye...," we will never escape from the spiral of evil.
Revenge and retaliation always perpetuate the cycle of anger, fear and violence.
Without forgiveness life is governed by... an endless cycle of resentment and retaliation.
Scare answers to scare, and force begets force, until at length it comes to be seen that we are racing one against another after a phantom security which continually vanishes as we approach.
Suspicion on one side breeds suspicion on the other, and new weapons beget counter-weapons.
Terrorism brings the reprisal; the reprisal brings the additional hatred; the additional hatred breeds the additional terrorism, and so on.
