Language a Weapon against Violence

Light of Truth

“There is indeed something healthy in the expression of anger. To repress grievances is certainly bad. Expression and discussion are ways of healing. Psychoanalysis re-lies precisely on this expressive function of language. To hear the anger of other people forces us to confront our wrong-doings, which is the first step towards forgiveness. We must have trust in language as a weapon against violence, in-deed the best weapon there is against violence.”

Paul Ricour
