It should be the other way around.Does it take a saint(圣人) to make the change from strong anger to sympathy?Turning points arrive when we can make a choice not to suffer in silence.We then strike a soul bargain that is fearful but necessary.The bargain is that redemption(解救) is possible through love.The absence of love is absolutely the problem, and love is absolutely the solution.We dont have to reach into another area to locate the magic power of love that is available to us here and now.The_problem_is_that_love_es_through_a_fallible_human_being. The rule is constant work on the spiritual path to clear away the obstacles that prevent love from ing through us.The work is much more like working on blocked pipe system than it is like copying a saint.Hope is the emotion that keeps this dogged work even when results seem to be slow or impossible.Can I love the terrorist who harms my country? Can I love the criminal who wants to harm me? At the level of the soul I already do, and the spiritual path is a means to arrive at that level.No one is required to leap into sudden sympathy for terrorists, or even to announce publicly that our enemies deserve love.But in our souls each of us harbors the knowledge that only love is going to bring violence to an end.No matter how you and I live our outward lives, our spiritual lives must remain devoted to that vision.【語篇解讀】施暴者本身也是受害者，他們是先受害，而后再傷害別人，我們不要用孤立和敵視去改變他們，對一些暴力分子改變看法的時候到了。1Which one is NOT true for moral view of violence?
