That's one of the ways that you're compassionate, by confronting evil.

And sometimes, you know, I think it is necessary to physically resist evil.

I'm sure, you know, if you saw a child being molested, you know, and the only way you could take the guy out was to punch the lights out of him, you'd do it.

I would, certainly, if I saw a child being molested.

And so to stand by and say, my God, forgive you, you know, I forgive you, you know, and not do anything.

So we have to intervene.

The question is, am I intervening out of anger?

I'm intervening out of love.

And you and I talked last night, you gave the great story about the samurai warriors and that killing was a duty.

It couldn't be done out of anger, you know?

And the fact that it was so difficult for a samurai, a real samurai warrior who taught me to kill to take a life that, you know, if I like, I need to end my own life because I've, I've taken the life of another and I've, uh, I've done it because it was my duty to do it.

I didn't do it out of anger in any way.

So resisting from a clean heart doesn't mean that I have to sit my hands and watch somebody being kind of vilified or a child being raped.

That's beautiful.

I love it.

Absolutely love it.

And I mean, we're 80%, we're basically taxicabs for bacteria.

80% of the gut is a foreign matter.

It doesn't belong to the human at all.

So we're taxicabs for them.
