显然，你越对抗什么，就会变成什么。
如果我在发怒，你也用愤怒来回敬我，结果将如何？愈发愤怒，你也变得愤怒如我。如果我内心邪恶，而你以恶制恶，那么你也将变邪恶，不论你觉得自己何等地正义在握。如果我残暴，而你以暴制暴，那么你将变得与我一样残暴。几千年来，人类一直就是这样做的。可以肯定，除了以怨报怨，一定还有其他方法。如果我运用暴力，平息自己的愤怒，这是用错误手段，谋求正当目的，所以正当目的也就不复存在了。在这个过程中，没有觉悟，没有超越愤怒。你只能以宽容之心探究、领会愤怒，而不能用暴力手段制伏愤怒。愤怒的起因有很多，如果不能理解起因，那么你是无处逃避的。
仇敌、恶棍是我们自己制造出来的，我们也成了他们的敌人，这根本不能消除仇恨。我们必须理解仇恨的内在起源，不再用思想、感受与行为去滋养仇恨。这是一项艰苦卓绝的任务，需要时时觉知自我，产生柔韧的智慧。这是因为，我们内心是什么样子，则社会与国家就是什么样子。所谓敌友，都是我们的思维与行动塑造出来的。制造出仇敌，责任都在我们自己，所以重要的是觉知我们的思想与行为，而不是纠结于敌友，因为正确的思想，能够化解分裂；爱，超越敌友分别。
——克里希那穆提《生命书：365观心日课》（The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti）
That Thing Which You Fight You Become
Surely that thing which you fight you become….
If I am angry and you meet me with anger what is the result? More anger. You have become that which I am. If I am evil and you fight me with evil means then you also become evil, however righteous you may feel. If I am brutal and you use brutal methods to overcome me, then you become brutal like me. And this we have done for thousands of years. Surely there is a different approach than to meet hate by hate? If I use violent methods to quell anger in myself then I am using wrong means for a right end, and thereby the right end ceases to be. In this there is no understanding; there is no transcending anger. Anger is to be studied tolerantly and understood; it is not to be overcome through violent means. Anger may be the result of many causes, and without comprehending them there is no escape from anger.
We have created the enemy, the bandit, and becoming ourselves the enemy in no way brings about an end to enmity. We have to understand the cause of enmity and cease to feed it by our thought, feeling, and action. This is an arduous task demanding constant self-awareness and intelligent pliability, for what we are the society, the state, is. The enemy and the friend are the outcome of our thought and action. We are responsible for creating enmity and so it is more important to be aware of our own thought and action than to be concerned with the foe and the friend, for right thinking puts an end to division. Love transcends the friend and the enemy.
