Spatial Violence

To hit someone is to forcefully take the space they are occupying. When we punch or push someone, we physically overtake the space they were occupying with use of strength and that results in violence. The more we want to displace someone from their space the more violent we get.

This violence occurs even on the mental level when we try to push our ideas down someone's throat. That's like occupying somebody's mental space. The more forcefully we try to dole out these ideas, more intellectually violent we become.
