Violence vs Non-Violence: Which is Greater?

If i may say, you're the OP, you asked which is greater. When you're asked for clarification for what you mean by 'greater', and then respond with the same question, that doesn't exactly help us get anywhere.

You need to clarify your question in order for it to be addressed properly.

Ok! What’s Greater?
There are ONLY 2 Things that can RAMBO FIST FIGHT on the Issue.

  • Issues Considered GREATER WITHIN….your Home, Compound..
…like issues relating to your Beloved Children & Spouse

  • Issues Considered GREATER…OUTSIDE…your Home, Compound.
…like issues relating to Race, Religion, Nations, Money, ISMs…, Land, Space..

I consider GREATER as THAT which is WITHIN …YOU….
…and your possible next nearest circle…..

Do you mean that you think non-violence is greater on a person level, in that it benefits the person more?

And that it can be beneficial to those close to that person?

The World is CONSTRUCTED Every Minute….by Emanation from the SELF
As a SELF, my BASIC REQUIREMENT is ….PEACE…Non-Violence…
So that ..I CAN EXIST…..as….I…AM
….and feed on a few tomatoes and buffaloes…
But the Problem is…..WHEN I GET MORE ENERGETIC….by feeding Too Much…
……..I translate my Morning Eggs..to THE EGGS OF OTHER HUMANS!
RELIGION
Is
To Differentiate
WHAT is Really Required to Make me Continue Breathing
To VS
Extinguishing Other People’s Breaths.

Irrational Rationalist. Educated Fool.
Violence is a tactic used by people of low intellect to impose their will on other people. If they had a good idea, then people would embrace it automatically. Diplomacy and conversation is the only way forward. Violence breeds violence.

I agree, i think this should be the way people approach there lives. However, that does not equal in my eyes to say that there would never be an exception, or a situation where i need to use violence.

Generally, violence is a sign of weakness in other departments, and does not help things at all. In fact most of the time it makes the world a terrible place. However, once again, to generalize that or equate it to always, means a different thing.

When you're to choose between using violence to counter someone else's and protect someone who does not deserve to be victimized, in that case in my opinion its the best thing to do. As to do otherwise means injustice to the person who is about to be victimized.

.....if he/she WERE NOT...
.....or considered himself/herself MORE ENERGETIC/ Powerful...than
....the focus of her/his Violence?

Usually the target is someone who is seem as weaker or equally strong as yourself.
Not always though.
Sometimes people just go against the odds especially when there is despair/anger involved.

It is worth mention this power evaluation is not always accurate.

WHAT EVALUATIONS can BE ACCURATE?

...For what purpose? :sarcastic

So that we can discuss and drill down into ‘origin’ of violence in the human consciousness. I wish a new subject called ‘Perspective on Violence’ be introduced in all schools and colleges of the world, in addition to the usual Physics, Chemistry etc. If the nearly invisible under 3-feet 8 billion getting-nursed human population is given ‘insight’ into this ‘Perspective on Violence’ – may be they will DIVERT THE BILLIONS & BILLIONS of DOLLARS of Weaponization of Space and Artificial Land Boundaries – and use the Enormous Wealth RELEASED – to provide milk for THEIR babies and take care of one another!...instead of following the Same Old Established WAR AGENDAS they find getting dumped on their Laps!
