Violence

There is a saying that many people use "Violence doesn't solve anything". It is likely someone has said that to you at one point or another. This saying is mostly accurate, wars don't solve anything, in fact they seem to make a situation much worse. But in some ways, is violence the only answer? It is the only way out of something that seems so difficult that there is nothing else you can do? I will put the question out there, do you think violence solves anything?
This is a touchy-feely subject. Just like anything in life, it is not black and white, and yet it is seen as if it is.The term 'Violence' seems very harsh, and usually it is. But violence, isn't just physical. Violence: an action intended to cause destruction, pain or suffering. The hatefull words people use, to make another suffer is a form of violence. If someone was being violent towards you, wouldn't the logical thing to do is be violent back? We are told that violence is bad, but sometimes it is the only way to defend ourselves. The word violence sounds harsh because the action is harsh. I am not saying violence is right, but being violent changes from situation from situation.

We are faced with different issues everyday, and if I was smart I would probably keep a journal of the emotions I feel at the time. I don't ever seem to stop thinking about everything and anything. Over the past week I have had a lot of time to think, and yet no time to write. I get upset when I can't right but I would prefer sleep than write. what made me bring up violence? Well apart from learning about Nazi Germany, or maybe it was my friend telling me about how some guys were violent towards her. Or maybe it was just the violence I have experienced. Whatever the reason though, I seem to have a strong oppinion on most things. Violence? I am not sure how I feel about it, overall I think violence isn't needed, but sometimes it may be...

There is no news on my half sister, in fact Jane has been so slack she is never in the mood to email her back and she told me that she "doesn't know what to say." I suppose I would be better at that, wanting to be the writer in the family and all. But I guess we both just need time to get use to the idea. How much time is my issue, My niece is growing up quickly and is a cute little bub, so we should make our decision soon.
