As someone who has never experienced much violence in her life, I find it very difficult to have an opinion on the subject. I can say, however, that I shy away in the face of it and would rather run or hide in a cupboard as opposed to confronting it.
Whether this is the better reaction to have towards violence is debatable in my opinion ...
On the one hand, running and hiding may be considered cowardly and weak but it also, very simply, does not entail creating more acts of violence. On the other, without necessarily reacting violently, by not facing up to it and dealing with this issue, how do we as communities and a human race overcome these cruel acts of hatred? − Leilah Kirsten, Jazzart trainee
