What's your call on this again Dan? |
I agree with Steve
when he says this sort of thing comes down to feeling unconditionally safe.

A totally ineffective strategy is to respond to violence with more resistance. Verbally condemning attacks is pointless, as is fighting back. All that does is perpetuate the level of consciousness that spawned the violence in the first place. Yet this is what world leaders continue doing. It will never work though because it’s an inherently flawed strategy. It’s far more likely to have the opposite effect and keep the violence percolating indefinitely. Also, the frustration that results will probably drive some of the people involved to lower their consciousness ever further, down to the levels of shame, guilt, apathy, and grief. All this will do is delay the violence, which will be destined to erupt again later.

If things hit the fan I'll just roll with it. A negative or violent reaction is probably the worst way to respond.
