Violence is the only solution


If violence is defined as positive (not as in good, but more the opposite of negative or void) force used in a specific direction to achieve a desired outcome, then almost any action used to rectify any situation could be construed as violence, even if, in social terms, it is considered non-violent. Passive-aggression is a perfect example of this, but it could be taken even further to say that Gandhi used violent means to achieve home-rule for India. He used a positive force in a specific direction to achieve a desired outcome.

In that sense it could quite simply be said that any time you try to achieve a result you are using violence, it is only a matter of degrees. You have used your willpower to affect a result.

The only way to avoid violence (at least perpetrating violence) is to avoid attempting getting what you want in any situation. It even comes down to typing this answer correctly; I am enforcing my will on the computer keyboard.

Violence is the ONLY way to solve a problem
