I am against violence. are you?

Not really. I mean yeah, it can be incredibly destructive, but the phrase - "violence never solved anything" is just blatantly untrue. I could not begin to tell you how many stubborn ketchup bottles I've opened with violence. A lot of my closest friends are people that I fought with in a moment of anger before becoming friends. And, I firmly believe that neither of the World Wars could have been resolved without violence. Violence might have been the spark, but it is certainly not what started it all in the first place. Besides, not everyone is non-violent. It is incredibly na?ve to think that everyone is rational-minded, kind and helpful, because there have always been, and always will be, people who want to cause chaos for the sake of it. Warmongers, really. There is never going to be a point where we won't need violence for something, and thinking otherwise is ludicrously narrow-minded.

Of course I am. But as far as I am concerned, I have lived in a peaceful country where our government has maintained the stability of the country as well as to cover up what is happening here. For example, killing someone or raping an underage girl or stealing others' belonging would be punished severely immediately, but occasionally those defendants would be named in the newspapers but not really.

I can justify that I am against violence when I am exposing myself to the real world by reading world news everyday. I think that I can endure such sympathy only because I cannot do anything about it. For example, the conflicts between Israel and Palestine. By boycotting and demonstrating would not make any differences in stopping the killings of innocent children and women.

Since, I am bullied through social media. Sometimes I feel no need to worry about others as long as I live happily and peacefully.

Starting Violence is never okay. There are always a rational way out

We should all fight for peace!
