We must also be careful to avoid ingesting toxins in the form of violent TV programs, video games, movies, magazines, and books. When we watch that kind of violence, we water our own negative seeds, or tendencies, and eventually we will think and act out of those seeds.

Thich Nhat Hanh in Living Buddha, Living Christ by Thich Nhat Hanh

 

To Practice This Thought:
Go on a violence fast. Give up entertainments which contain any kind of violence.
