It is supported. Your stubborn resistance is going to ruin it for you, seriously. When I'm no longer here, you'll forget about this book and you'll never find another like it. You'll be searching for answers when the answers were right in front of you.

If he is correct that we must have a justification to harm others, and when all justification to harm others has been removed (and he explains what those justifications are), then it follows that it will be impossible for anyone to DESIRE hurting others because they won't have the necessary justification in which to follow through with their contemplated actions.
