   Non-violence in thought is the hardest and the most important

     @georgia @lain sometimes I joke about "so and so should be executed" but I never actually fantasize about it

     @sun @lain violence in thought encompasses more than fantasizing about literal violence. its like, not wanting others to be harmed in any way.

     @lain i used to have fantasies of destroying my highschool back when i was in it. reviewing those fantasies, i don't think thoughts of violence bad: it's part of the process of you realizing what you want. eventually it led to me realizing that i wanted to either reform or escape the school system, because it wasn't for me.
     
     on the other hand, i think a thing i call 'monsterfying' is bad. you 'monsterfy' a person when you stop considering them human and see them as an incorrigible, unknowable evil. i used to do it when i was a kid. criminals, pedophiles, politicians, CEOs, etc.
     
     as my theory of mind improved i eventually grew out of it. i'm not entirely sure why i feel it's a bad thing. it's probably because people who monsterfy others are unwilling to listen to the victim's side of the story, and anyone who knows someone is monsterfying them will instantly classify them as an enemy. for example, think transphobes and trans people: the trans person is bound to see you as an enemy if you literally want them dead. these two people are literally unable to live at peace until the first one stops monsterfying the second, or one of them ends up dead.
