The world is full of people who confuse the two, but not you… just speak your truth.

speech can trigger violence violence can kill speech

Speech can be very powerful, inspiring, causing harm, healing, and easing pain. How can speech then never be violence? I'm just thinking out loud.

Someone's god is someone's davil They both give speeches One creates peace another creates destruction But here is the irony Both their followers think they are right (So i disagree with you) View quoted note →

People need to talk to each other, face to face (even if over video chat). This eliminates anonymity, and seems to cause folks to meet the conversation with humility, and more times than not find common ground. That’s when both parties are looking to learn from each other, vs. convince each other. We need more of this. Conversation. Ideas. Humility. Or we’ll get more violence…and we all seem very tired of that.

One would think this is common sense… But in 2025 it seems like sense isn’t as common after all… Speech is never violence. Violence is never speech. View quoted note →
