Courting Tragedy & Disaster

Ahimsa means, "abstaining from causing hurt or harm" in Sanskrit, but by removing the "a", it means the reverse. The question is now not, whether I enjoyed the music or not but whether it accomplished its goals. Yes, I did. It was frightening, upsetting, terrifying and made me feel dirty. It challenged me psychologically and left me in tears, and that was just the first track. If that is your cup of tea, great. For me, I prefer my tea a bit warm, but not scalding. And taking that metaphor further, Himsa truly accomplishes its goals of sounding evil and painful.
