Solution Violence
For the past two days I have been reflecting on an aspect of my character which I have never taken seriously before. There have been some incidents in my life during the past three years, like being stalked online or having my computer sabotaged, that have angered me to such a degree that I considered punishing the people behind them using physical force.
I don’t believe in violence as a solution to any problem. For the most part, I don’t believe much can be done to solve 99% of the problems I face. When I do think of a solution, it is often communication. This is why I am always surprised when I think of a solution to a problem along the lines of “I will send a group of guys to break this person’s face.”
What surprises me the most is that I think of myself as an intelligent person who does not adhere to the “tribal violence” mentality that I see prevalent in my society. If so, I ask myself, why do I even consider beating a person up as a means to teach them a lesson or perhaps get them off my case? For example, if my online stalker is put in the hospital after having his jaw broken at my command, would that really keep him from stalking me? I know it would make me feel better. Is that wrong?
I guess any such action would solve the problem to a degree, but not entirely. I have never resorted to violence to the extent I mentioned above, but I have considered it seriously as a solution to a number of problems. Does that make me a violent person or simply a person at loss for a solution?
What do you think?

Everyone feels like breaking someone’s face every now and then, that doesn’t make you violent, nor at loss of a solution, it only makes you human. That’s of course IMHO.</p>
<p>There are cases of course where "breaking someone’s face" is the only answer, if I had an online stalker, I’d probably want to break his face also, or at least make his life as miserable as possible.</p>
