<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

I would rather not fight you at all.

@Nimda

And we won't. But I'm only making a point. I come across people like you who stand in my way, and I'm helpless.

Violence doesn't have to be the answer.

@Nimda

That's simply untrue in so many scenarios.

@Intrepid

I like to say that violence is only the answer when violence was the question. Everything else can be handled gently.

Violence is a language. A very unfortunate language, but a language made necessary by the nature of all living things.

@Intrepid

I agree! So if all the world were willing to learn a better language—
*Smiles*
I think we would all be able to get along in peace.

@Nimda

If.

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

If.

@Intrepid

It doesn't have to be that way. And the more people willing to speak peace, the fewer there will be that think they need to have to speak violence.

@Nimda

People always see that they can get one over one others through a demonstration of strength. Until a fundamental problem is solved with in the minds of sentient beings involving destructive ambition, this will always be a problem.

Nothing is perfect, but we can always try. Every inch helps.

It leaves more and more vulnerable against the other side.

@Intrepid

It doesn't have to be that way. People can have the capacity for violence but choose not to. I think that's better than being incapable of it in the first place.

@Nimda

Your issue is that not everyone shares that mentality. And when so many people reach a point that they then refuse to fight, a tyrant attacks. There are so many sources- beings in which violence has dug its roots- that Existence is cursed with their presence forever.

@Intrepid

That is the issue. But the goal is that more adopt it so that there can be more peace. If someone decides to attack, everyone can band together in defense.

@Nimda

Until the day comes when all they muster cannot stand against someone who's lived in violence for longer than they have. The flow of life favors the strong, and living in peace as a lifestyle makes you softer and softer until someone who's been hardened by the fight comes and makes them all regret it.

Everyone working together can succeed.

@Nimda

Only so many times.

@Intrepid

I think it can work every time if enough people commit to peace.

@Nimda

Numbers of people don't matter when the people are dust on the massive scale of existence, where one person bigger than they are can wipe them all from existence on a whim.

@Intrepid

That's why there are good beings on that same scale.
