In Aikido you neither die for peace nor allow the other to dominate. Your violence does not motivate a similar or a passive response from me. I understand that you see violence as your only action, I restrain you gently and firmly until you can perceive another course of action.
K e n Peace is Security -----Original Message----- From: OSLIST [mailto:osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu]On Behalf Of Winston Kinch Sent: Monday, December 24, 2001 5:53 AM To: osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu Subject: Re: Concerns and Tactics Paul wrote... btw, the Winter issue of "YES" magazine has some very powerful articles in it on peace, war and other issues of the commonweal. Recommend it. Very challenging. Are we ready to die for peace? To be killed by the violent other in order that we ourselves not be violent? Wendell Berry ("The Failure of War"), Walter Wink ("Pacifism With Teeth"), Yael Lachman ("Choose Love") all write in a paradigm-stretching way. Thank you Paul. I have already started reading the articles and bookmarked the site. Good stuff. Season's best Winston
