“Violence is a reaction to psychological pain”
— Jiddu Krishnamurti
Simplified Meaning:
When someone feels deep emotional hurt, they might respond with anger or aggressiveness. Imagine a person who has been bullied for a long time. The constant teasing and name-calling make them feel very sad and frustrated inside. One day, they might lash out and hit someone because they can't handle the pain anymore. They are trying to protect themselves and express their inner struggle through physical actions. Think about how a wild animal reacts when it’s cornered and scared; it becomes aggressive because it feels threatened. In people, psychological pain works similarly; when the hurt gets too strong, some might turn violent as a way to cope or fight back. To avoid this, it's important to understand and help those who are suffering emotionally. They need kindness, support, and a safe space to talk about their feelings, so they don’t feel the need to react violently.
