About This Quote

In the quote, the term "violence" means a range of violent behaviors that can include physical violence or threat of violence. This is a very general definition and, as such, it does not cover other forms of physical harm. For example, a person who pushes someone else off their chair would still be considered violent. It’s also important to note that the power to make decisions does not automatically make a person immune from the effects of violence. In other words, a person who is physically violent can still be held responsible for their actions if they make decisions with malicious intent.
