[famous_quotes] Dumb quote explored
There are 4 distinct types of love: created, sanctioned, and
provided by God Himself. The type of love which would address
the aggression, bigotry, hatred, fear, and violence of our world
is agapé (that which is solely in the best interest of the other
person) and is largely practiced only when one attains an acute
awareness of his/her reason for existing in the first place; glorifying
God and not oneself or one's agenda.
God Himself tells us there will always be wars and rumors of
wars (i.e., actual wars, aggressions, violence, and the like). It
is therefore true whether we like it or not; it is each individual's
responsibility to be self-accountable for the knowledge they
acquire, wisdom they implement, and loving-kindness (i.e., agapé love)
extended to each and every man, woman, and child.
food for thought,
authoress

With the Aesops quote you said it all.......... First we should try all
the other ways but it would be naief to think that everything can be
solved without using the "blow", in the very end. It's sad to realise
over and over again that in this world there are people, and even big
parts of nations, who are aggressors and do not seek wisdom, peace and
kindness. And in the end of all the aggression and despair, we can only
be thankful for the ones who are brave and use their guns in the right
ways; to free and protect other people from all the horror, harm and
sadness that has been done upon them, their families and their country.
I feel we are a group of people from all over this world who intend to
make this world a better place in a better way. I'm very thankful for
all you have been sharing with me! Just wanted to tell you so.
Kind regards Christine/ NL

Your last line is correct but the first one is not. He did not say
that only violence will achieve freedom. It is the last resort.
Aesop's quote comes to mind here: If words suffice not, blows must
follow.
