Imagine the scene…
A young woman is cleaning up her kitchen at night after getting her child to bed. While she is doing the dishes an intruder breaks thru her backdoor into the kitchen and attacks her. During the scuffle the attacker grabs a knife from the knife block on the kitchen counter and ends up stabbing the young woman multiple times, killing her.
Now imagine this scene…
A young woman is cleaning up her kitchen at night after getting her child to bed. While she is doing the dishes an intruder breaks thru her backdoor into the kitchen and attacks her. During the scuffle the young woman grabs a knife from the knife block on the kitchen counter and ends up stabbing her attacker multiple times, killing him.
In both scenes violence was used. One time in the attacker's favor and one time in the young woman’s favor. Obviously it is a tragic result with the young woman dying in the first scene. But it is a triumphant action by the young woman in the second. Why is that?? Because violence or violent action is just a tool. How you use it determines the good or the bad. When confronted - point blank - with violence, the only option you have is to fight back. In other words, violence is the problem but IS also the solution.
Yes there are many shades of grey involved here. But, when you are faced with an asocial attacker in your face, in the moment, the only thing that will truly stop that attacker is a violent action on your behalf that causes a disfunction in the attacker’s body. You must be willing and able to do this when attacked with your life on the line.
