What hides behind violence is anger. The anger of not being understood, of not being fulfilled... or is it the anger of being challenged?
Either way, violence always does more damage than good. Is it inevitable? Yes. Is it necessary? No. Resorting to hurting any opponent in order to get a message come across is weak.
Violence is, in my eyes, a synonym to weakness. When people start acting in aggressive manners, it's only because they have no arguments left in their cause, and instead of finding new ones, and fight in a respectable manner, they flee and hurt the ones around. Whilst anger, hatred and helplessness are understandable emotions they should however never excuse an act with the purpose of destroying someone whether it is mentally or physically.
Still, I have found believing that people can be good is the start to a happy life for us, and a better life for everyone.
Indeed, showing people that we care is key. Helping, even the ones who never dare to ask, is a step towards ending violence. Being misunderstood is frustrating, let's start being open-minded. Such a behavior can only lead to greatness, and self-fulfillment. So let's learn to exist, cohabit, communicate, exchange so we can live the way we should, breaking down violence to make it weaker than it already is and eventually making our Earth happier one person at a time.
It is true that this is a very optimistic outlook on life, but what else have we got? I am young, and I have energy, which is why I will use my energy to once again believe, with my core, that we can all change the situation around us, if only we started to care.
