Violence is always a bad answer.
Sometimes its the least bad answer of the options available.

Great parenting advice.

This is especially true when violence is also the question.

Or just manipulation.

From the streets and gangs, to the businesses, to the cops and feds... They all have something in common, manipulation for power/control. That's the opposite of living for humanity.

The most important thing I've learned in life is that it's always the same game, whether it's illegal street life or business or politics... It's all always the same evil game. And the players of that game always try to make or force you to play it.

If there was an honest war for humanity, it would be a war against all of those that play that game.

But the truth is... No one cares about anything but trying to escape the reality of being human and they will play the game with all its false promises because it's easier than facing the fear of the actual presence of honest reality.

Actual reality is like a horror movie.
