"If You Kill Him, He Won't Learn Nothin'."

"If You Kill Him, He Won't Learn Nothin'." (The Riddler to Two-Face, Batman Forever)

There is no need to forgive,
no need to empathize,
just know that if you kill the person you hate,
they will never learn anything,
they will never come to understand what they did to make you so angry and hurt,
and,
deep down,
you really want that,
you really want them to understand what they did to you.

Well,
if you kill them,
they will never understand,
will they?

I understand anger.

I understand people in Pakistan and Israel being angry with each other,
the Catholics and Protestants in Ireland,
but,
killing each other doesn't solve the problem.

I propose "non-lethal" combat.
I propose training.
The anger needs to be expressed.
The rage needs to be expressed.
But,
it should be used to grow and to show.

Just like in "Fight Club",
fighting is used to help each other,
to release the pain through violence,
but violence which helps to let it all out.
Talking is a big part of it.
The need to talk about what's going on,,
what is making one so angry.

It could become a sport.
A National Sensation.
Wrestling.
Mixed Martial Arts.
Boxing.
People could watch as those who are hateful of each other,
fight and hurl insults and express their anger and rage,
and come to see that they are ultimately tied into this world together,
and that hurting one another happens,
but the pain needs to be released,
just like a blockage in a hose,
and then one can get back to living.
