Violence - Incompetence or Life Saver

As per Isaac Asimov:

"Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent."
As per me:

"Violence is often the last resort of the dying man, as he vainly struggles to survive. Had he resorted to violence sooner, he may have lived longer. Only those competent in the wise application of violence know when to make good use of it and when to safely abstain from it."

All the best,
