    Violence is only justifiable when it’s used against people I don’t like, not people YOU don’t like.

      Or

      Violence is only justifiable when used by institutions I believe in, not institutions you believe in.

    Two sentences I have on my walls:

    Violence is always an option.

    This is a reminder that that option is always available. I should not resort to it but I can and so will others.

    Violence is not the answer, is the question. The answer is yes.

    A reminder to always question myself if resorting to violence is, in fact, on time. There are times when things are only or more easily solved through violence than negotiation and words.

    This is the next to go up on the wall:

    Whoever said violence doesn’t solve anything, wasn’t using enough force.

    If you need to resort to violence, be brutal, be swift, be hard. Because, as someone else has said, “don’t start a fight; but if you have to fight, fight to win”.

      “If violence wasn’t your last resort, you failed to resort to enough of it.”

      Your sentences inspired me to make my own.

      If your quest for kindness leads you to violence, remember to use violence with kindness.

    If Ukraine wanted peace they wouldn’t keep perpetuating this war. It’s time to put away the damn guns.

    Violence is NEVER the solution.
