| Resist Violence with Good: Myth or Reality? Violence is always bad. It is a rude violation of the human rights. If violence is resisted with good, then violent people will never get their lesson and will get off light. Nothing can justify violence. There is a good saying, “An eye for an eye”. Certainly people must try to find peaceful solutions and to sit at a negotiation table but the strongest party will use their position of force. Evil must be punished. A suspect is guilty in most cases. “There is no smoke without fire”. | |||||
