Important people on both sides, who would in other respects appear to be reasonable men, get up and calmly argue in favor of violence – as if it were a legitimate solution, like any other. What is really frightening, what really fills you with despair, is the realization that when it es to the crunch, we have made no actual progress at all. We may wear collars and ties instead of warpaint, but our instincts remain basically unchanged. The whole of the recorded history of the human race, that tedious documentation of violence, has taught us absolutely nothing. We have still not learnt that violence never solves a problem but makes it more acute. The sheer horror, the bloodshed, the suffering mean nothing. No solution ever es to light the morning after when we dismally contemplate the smoking ruins and wonder what hit us. The truly reasonable men who know where the solutions lie are finding it harder and herder to get a hearing. They are despised, mistrusted and even persecuted by their own kind because they advocate such apparently outrageous things as law enforcement. If half the energy that goes into violent acts were put to good use, if our efforts were directed at cleaning up the slums and ghettos, at improving livingstandards and providing education and employment for all, we would have gone a long way to arriving at a solution. Our strength is sapped by having to mop up the mess that violence leaves in its wake. In a welldirected effort, it would not be impossible to fulfill the ideals of a stable social programme. The benefits that can be derived from constructive solutions are everywhere apparent in the world around us. Genuine and lasting solutions are always possible, providing we work within the framework of the law. Before we can even begin to contemplate peaceful coexistence between the races, we must appreciate each other‘s problems. And to do this, we must learn about them: it is a simple exercise in munication, in exchanging information. ?Talk, talk, talk,‘ the advocates of violence say, ?all you ever do is talk, and we are none the wiser.‘ It‘s rather like the story of the famous barrister who painstakingly explained his case to the judge. After listening to a lengthy argument the judge plained that after all this talk, he was none the wiser. ?Possible, my lord,‘ the barrister replied, ?none the wiser, but surely far better informed.‘ Knowledge is the necessary prerequisite to wisdom: the knowledge that violence creates the evils it pretends to solve. 1.
