Secure joy in the consciousness you maintain.

I think that's a great answer.

Violence is such a puzzle, isn't it? To secure joy in your own consciousness you need to decline to be a part of other people's violence, you need to know that you're doing your best monitoring your own responses when you encounter negative influences.

I wonder if I can/should take joy in people having the free will to be able to commit violence in the first place?

I may also begin to think of taxation as a sort of theft, since tax money is taken from me against my will I'm no longer responsible for how it is spent.

I'm not a politician, it isn't my job.
