This is a Universe of Force. Physical, Mental and Spiritual. Choose your own paths, But I will Not Turn the Cheek, nor be Feed for Lions.
Employing Force requires a High Level of Responsibility. To Deny your own application of force and defense is an abdication of responsibility, imo.
Conduct Yourselves Accordingly
