Abstract

I never share the feeling of those who go so far in their anger against men of their own race that they not only take away their enemies' annual crops but also destroy their trees and agricultural equipment, thereby leaving no opportunity for reparation. Instead, those who do that seem to me to be extremely short-sighted: the more they assume to be terrorizing the enemy by ruining their land and taking away all their hopes of earning a living – not just for the present, but also for the future – just that much more do they brutalize others and so create a hatred of themselves that is never removed.
