If you look at animals like chimps or dogs, intimidation and backing off are the normal ways to handle conflict. This prevents them from actually having to hurt each other.
Like free speech and the legal system, intimidation is a peaceful way by which many humans prevent violence.
Agree?
When thats not enough they go right into it. Especially chimps.

It's optimal to show your strength and let the other know that he might slow you down, but he'll never win.
I hope you got the message. 😏

Originally posted by AThousandYoungSo is avoiding violence always preferable? The more you back down the closer you move towards slavery. In fact, I think righteousness is not always acheived by avoiding physical violence, rather, it is only achieved by fighting for righteousness itself.
