violence - either used by a race for a just reason or by a government for a national unity reason, is a stupid way of resolving problems.
it may be a temporary solution for some problems which seem not to be able to solve by peaceful means, but it will bring more damage than the actors would imagine. it breeds hatred and craziness. it makes people focus on their own loss and the unjust the other party has done to them, and forgets or ignores what they have done to the other. And when the winner gets used to this means, they would use it in every possible situation, even to those who are once their allies and friends.
the ends cannot justify the means. because: what justifies the ends? how do i know your ends are better than those of your enemies if you both use terror to win your aims?

so sad... mysteriously woke up early this morning around 6am - at the same time back in Xinjiang - the dreamland I have been to 11 years ago - killings were happening.. what kind of man my countrymen have turned into... they are howling "kill them all!” all over the Chinese online forums...
it is not a surprise though- the volcano is about to erupt at any time - with the long time of suppression, no freedom of speech and assembly, and no fair rule of law, ignorance and self-centered, prejudice and intolerance, hatred and cruelty will for sure grow wildly like rainforest. world history is repeating itself. And this time, it is not just racial conflict.The fight is between a people and a government.but the innocent is inevitably involved, as always...

Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and
immoral. It is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in
destruction for all. The old law of an eye for an eye leaves everybody blind
. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win
his understanding; it seeks to annihilate rather than to convert. Violence
is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love. It destroys a
community and makes brotherhood impossible. It leaves society in monologue
rather than dialogue. Violence ends by defeating itself. It creates
bitterness in the survivors and brutality in the destroyers.
