| Krishnamurti: Why do you want to hurt another? Either because you want something from him , and he does not give it to you, and therefore you are annoyed, and want to hurt him in return, or he has deprived you of something, or you are jealous. He is taking away something from you or he is not giving you what you want. You are awakened to your own insufficiency, to your own littleness, emptiness, and to run away, to escape from that, you get annoyed, you want to hurt. In hurting, would you consider that a complete action, born out of fear, born out of that loneliness? To me is not a complete action. Is it not simple? I know, discussions have been taking place here whether you should go out and hurt people, kill people, because you have heard me talking about acting completely. What a waste of time! Either you do not understand the significance of my words, or you understand merely the superficial meaning's. So, wait a minute. You want to hurt another when you are conscious of your own loneliness, when you are forced to face your own emptiness, and you react against the person who forces you to that conscious emptiness, and if you react from that, it is but a reaction. Whereas if you find out what is the cause of that loneliness and free yourself from that cause and then act, in that, there is harmony, in that there is completeness.
