So here it is, my week on "Ahimsa". The week where I am charged with practicing non-violence. I suppose that means I should get this damned tune out of my head:
Kiss with a Fist
So Florence claims that the tune is not about domestic violence...but rather about people in love who push one another to psychological extremes. Well, Ahimsa actually speaks more to that than actual kicking, slapping, stomping, smashing violence, I think.
Either way, it's a great song. Too bad I shouldn't be aurally indulging myself with it for a week.
Ahimsa pratisthayam tat samnidhau vaira tyagah (in the presence of one firmly established in non-violence, all hostilities cease.) - Patanjali's Yoga Sutras 2.35
