No matter how hard one tries, it is not easy to practice non-violence. In fact the real violence is anger, false pride, attachment and greed. Effect violence continues according to the laws of nature and no one has any control over it. Kashaya (bad intent, action or speech) is the highest violence and that is why the Lord has said that first and foremost, one should not have any kashaya. This type of violence is called self-violence or intent-violence. There are those who take a firm stand to stop the effect-violence. They may be able to stop killing insects overtly.
