About This Quote

The quote, “Organized force alone enables the quiet and the weak to go about their business and to sleep securely in their beds, safe from the violent without or within” is a reminder that most people have two options if they feel threatened: they can either fight back or they can run away. The only reason most people do not choose the latter option is that they are afraid. They know that a fight with a violent person is likely to lead to injury or death, so they avoid it. Unfortunately, the violent person does not have this option.

He will keep attacking until he gets what he wants. If you choose to fight back violently against a violent person, you will inevitably suffer harm or death at his hands.
