"Furthermore, pacifists don’t make such a commitment because we believe we are superior to other human beings, but because we know the opposite. I am not a pacifist because I am innately less violent than anyone else, but because I know how violent I am capable of being. As Stanley Hauerwas famously says “I tell everyone I’m a pacifist so that other people will prevent me from killing some son-of-a-bitch one day.” If anyone has a superiority complex, it is a person who believes they are justified in killing another human being."
