sake_shinigamiThe classroom and the cocoa were back (although, really, one could argue that the cocoa never really left); Shunsui was sitting at his usual spot in the circle, all things that should be a sign to the students that another discussion class was in order.
Although, really, he'd gone and taught an actual lesson that involved doing things last week, so it should be assumed that he figured he'd put in more than his fair share of effort and another discussion class was completely earned
"Welcome back, ducklings ♥!" he gave his usual greeting and smile. "Today I'd like to have a discussion," suprirse!, "about last week's class, where the lovely, lovely Rosa-chan," and here he spared a small little pout for the current lack of her radiant and cheerful presence this week, "and I taught you about Aikido &hearts, and, this week, I would like to hear your thoughts on it ♥. Things like Aikido have its roots in the non-agression principle of pacifism. While nonviolence rejects the use of violence, non-aggression rejects the use of aggression ♥! Aggression is defined as the initiation of a physical force against person or property, and does not reject the idea of self-defense in response to aggression initiated against yourself.
"We saw in class how something like Aikido can be used to still be fairly nonviolent while also being non-agressive, but can it truly be considered pacifism ♥? Does a true pacifist absolve from all physical conflict? Or are there exceptions, as just remaining passive in the face of violence only propagates the violence ♥? Is there a happy medium? What did you, personally, think of the self-defense philosophy of Aikido and how it applies to your own perceptions of pacifism so far? Let's discuss ♥!"
Or just nap.
Napping will always be a valid option in this class. In fact, Shunsui would enthusiastically support the idea that it was one of, if not the best, example of practicing pacifism he could think of.
