9. They wouldn't exist today if they tried peace and nonviolence, it's been war from the start and
both sides are guilty of it.

We learn this lesson early in life. Ever tried being peaceful with a bully? It doesn't work. You can't negotiate with a bully, you can only punch them in the face and show them that you won't take it. Such as it is in life. We look for the ideal world and we attack those who we see as the problem, but in all reality it's both sides that are the problem and they both must come up with a solution.


Gandhi didn't exactly win through nonviolence, he won by attrition. The British couldn't afford having colonies anymore.
