      [È] solo entrando in contatto (anche) con la propria violenza che si può tentare di interrompere quel circolo vizioso che fa percepire tutto ciò che ci viene fatto come un atto violento, percezione che a sua volta genera risentimento e violenza.
      It is only by coming into contact (also) with one's own violence that one can try to interrupt that vicious circle that makes one perceive everything that is done to us as a violent act, a perception that in turn generates resentment and violence.
