Is non violence a end to a beginning?

it’s a very hard thing to abolish.

As people who are violent are very ill and need professional help, so..it does’nt matter what you do,they will always be violent.

Non-violence is a losing strategy in cases where violence is the only real remedy.

I do not believe in the words- non violence, the philosophy exists- but I believe it gets lost in the real word application. simply look at “non violent” protests from the past- they more often than not have become mob rule aggressive clashes. look at the monk that was protesting the viet nam war- he was peacefully protesting - until he started himself on fire- which became a violent act towards himself. the sit -ins from the “hippie” era, if they wanted non violent protests- they would have left the premises, when ordered to by the police, they did what they set out to do- delivered their message non violently and they should have walked away non violently. that is not the way it pans out though- people get into the mob mindset, they believe that their rights outweigh everyone elses- and they force a violent clash with law enforcement- and then whine about it later with their bruises on full display- doesn’t sound too “non violent” to me. I’m sorry- but a “non violent world” only exists in fantasy, I believe that nations need to always maintain a strong military- and use that military when diplomacy has failed. so - NO non violence is not an end- because it never “ends” that way- it most times leads to more violence, and martyrdom for fallen leaders.
