Over the years my psych nursing subspecialty has become violence management. One of the things I tell people when teaching is that everybody has at least one thing they’re willing to physically harm another person over, the only differences are what is it specifically and how bad does it have to get.
Anyone who says violence is never the answer has never been in a situation where violence is the only answer.
It’s one of those things where it really isn’t the answer until it is.
I guess, unless, you are the type of person who is willing to let people you care about get seriously injured, then by all means be the pacifist.
I mean ya, it’s how we stopped the nazis. Violence is definitely an answer, but it should be a last-ditch effort when all else fails.
Well, no. It should have been an answer before a fuck ton of innocent people died.
Unless it being last ditch effort ruins the effort. In which case get violent sooner…
And voila, just like that you have created warfare lol.

There have been times in my life where violence was definitely not the answer. Violence was the question and the answer was ‘Yes.’
Exactly.
Violence is never the answer, but sometimes it’s a damn good way to cancel like terms so you can find the answer.
