00:00My daughter's four years old, and when we go into the supermarket and we walk into the meat aisle,
00:05her face is so sad. She knows, and she doesn't call it the meat aisle. She says,
00:10at animals. At animals.
00:13Because she hasn't been conditioned yet to try to draw a line between what you're consuming and what that is.
00:19Kids are not, by their biological nature, violent.
00:26At least not at the level of organized stir and cold-blooded murder.
00:34Real non-violence is no doctrine, no principle. It is simply the removal of what makes us violent.
00:42It is a process of negation. It is not something that one has to learn.
00:47It is not something that one has to be formally educated in.
00:51Like when the kid is playing with the rabbit, you ask the kid, are you being compassionate?
00:54And the kid will say, what?
00:56Let it play.
00:58And get lost, let me play.
01:00So that kind of thing.
