Solution
Use of
violence does not achieve just ends in the long run as
violence tends to become out of control and causes a trail of death
and destruction.
Violence
involved in forcefully removing oppressors, liberation struggle and
self-defence is often justified.
However,
the removal of oppressors by the oppressed class through violent
struggle leads to another cycle of violence fuelled by a feeling for
revenge.
According
to Mahatma Gandhi when violence is done for good, the good is
temporary and the evil it does is permanent as violence breeds
hatred and resentment and divides people instead of uniting them.
