"Fighting over pacifism"!

Hi Joe

It was great to chat about this with you at the Chinese restaurant near South Ken and I would happily look at some of the blogs you mentioned

I have started Letters from a Skeptic while here in Tuscany and have found it stimulating, encouraging and good mostly so far. Would love to discuss that too sometime

As mostly I think about how philosophies relate to my life and experience I think that I would (consciously?) step in to defend someone I loved or who was vulnerable if they were being physically attacked. I can't see other than in sinful rage that I would lash out aggressively however nor fight to get something that was not mine. How does this fit with your thinking at the moment?

Can't wait to see you though I want the holiday to go slowly - self-contradictory as ever, that's your old dad!

With love

Peace talks (or a little piece on pacifism)

Hello! Long time no blog! Hope you're doing well- looking forward to seeing you tomorrow and/or Wednesday. I thought it might be nice to use this blog to chat through our thoughts about pacifism; to help me to think things through and gain from your insights, and to help you to understand the things that lead me to lean towards a pacifist view. I have a few different ideas for how to start (there are a few helpful blog series online), but I'm happy to chat in person or start from other places instead- what do you think? Love you loads Joe
