Some people argue that the key, or one of the keys, to end violence is violence itself. Violence doesn't always have to be physical. It can also be symbolic and language-based. Violence can be difficult and awkward, but I like to try to stave off whatever hurt and harm someone is doing to me. I don't think I'm unworthy, so I think I can move on if someone is having a fit or is unsettled by my gayness or whatever. My world doesn't end here when people bash me. I think I have different outlets to channel my anger and frustration. The source of the violence doesn't always have to be my target. Or how can I pinpoint the source? Violence is tricky
we need to stand up for ourselves more.
