Most people value life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Thus, if you can get these without violence, you do it. Sometimes violence is necessary, I have been saying for a while that non violence doesn't work so well in autocratic cultures. The leaders can just ignore the people. Sorta. Looking at Russia, you wonder. Looking at China, you wonder less.
How do you improve the culture when the leaders and elites do not show conscience? Violence is sometimes necessary?
But you avoid it if you can.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
