If you truly believe Thou shalt not kill, how can you kill the killer? Authentic spiritual teaching addresses violence and trespass in a different manner. It asks us to model the behavior we are expecting from the other person. If a fearful or angry person strikes out at us and we respond in fear or anger, we have validated his behavior by repeating it. But if we respond to his fear with love, we have stood for the truth and offered him an alternative. We cannot teach love by committing an unloving act. Only by acting in a loving manner can we teach what love is. Paul Ferrini
