      My parents raised me with unfortunate views, as did the churches they forced me to attend. It was only through life experience that I came to realize they were wrong.

      Violence didn’t help me, it made me feel isolated and more inclined to think that those using violence against me didn’t have rational arguments against my views.

      Violence doesn’t win arguments, and it should be a last resort, using it for instant gratification is a sure strategy to prolong conflict.
