Violence

Is violence a precursor of good things?
The Republican National Convention in USA clearly implied this.
Violence is a dirty patch, not an elegant solution.
You can't achieve a balance with it.
You don't help anyone with it. Not your opponent, neither yourself.
It's a reflex. To a perceived danger. For your integrity. For integrity of your beliefs. For integrity of your society.
It's opposite to freedom. Freedom to do mistakes. Freedom to learn from them. Freedom to change. Freedom to accept.
With violence you deny those freedoms from yourself.
Your opponent doesn't need more violence.
He needs to get rid of it.
So tell me.
Are you able to break the circle?
Try. You yourself are the greatest challenge.
It's not easy. I know.
It doesn't sound just. I know.
It's not right. Yeah.

You don't have to do it.
But it would be nice.
