Violence leads to more violence

I agree with this quote. If someone does something violent to someone else then the other person will want to do something violent back. For example, in Julius Caesar, the conspirators killed Caesar and to get revenge, Mark Antony and Octavius come up with a scheme to kill the conspirators. This lead to a war and in the end, basically everyone dies. Everyone wants to get even and if they get hurt or are at a loss because of someone else, they aren't just going to sit there and do nothing about it. They are going to want revenge and will do something to get back at the person. An everyday example of this is the way my friend and her brother used to fight. She would say something and he would get mad and her. Then she would want to hit him back, but then he had to get her. So in the end, it all lead to more violence and they both ended up unhappy. Another example is WWII. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor the US had to get back so they went and dropped 2 bombs in Japan. In the end, thousands of people were killed and no one was satisfied.
The whole thing just lead to more and more violence.
If anything happens, so one will settle for that and not do anything. This is why I think violence will lead to more violence until in the end someone is just so bad off that they will just have to stop.
