if you hold a gun…

“If you hold a gun and I hold a gun, we can talk about the law.

If you hold a knife and I hold a knife, we can talk about rules.

If you come empty handed and I come empty handed, we can talk about reason.

But if you have a gun and I only have a knife, then the truth lies in your hands.

If you have a gun and I have nothing, what you hold isn’t just a weapon, it’s my life.

The concepts of laws, rules and morality only hold meaning when they are based on equality…”
