When Tears Cannot Be Shed, Blood Is Shed In Its Stead

"When Tears Cannot Be Shed,
Blood Is Shed In Its Stead." - David Julio Wang

This saying always reminds me of another of my oft-recalled ones,

"The Nature Of Pressure Is : It Must Be Released." - David Julio Wang

All our wars.
All our violence.
All our anger.
All our pain.

We human beings are mostly water.
70% so.
We are liquid.
Our pressure is a liquid-pressure.

When that pressure cannot be released through the normal way of tears,
it must find liquid-release,
in the shedding of blood.

Look at yourself.
Your own thoughts.

When your pain cannot be released in sadness and tears,
to where do your feelings and thoughts turn?

To anger and the desire for violence.

This is not bad.
This is not evil.
This is : the nature of pressure.
