People will do what they want to do. I can not change an Other. I can't. If I want peace, I must be peace.
The irony of my statement is not lost on me. I obviously want to be heard for some reason. It stems from a desire for freedom of choice.
But again, that is between the slaughterer and the animal or the torturer and the tortured. The moment I put myself into the picture, the only thing that matters is my being-ness as I interact with others.

It's not about the slaughter house employee, it's about the animal they're slaughtering.
Same way it's not about the torturer, but the one being tortured.
