what balance is in these platitudes? The force applied is one directional. One pushes, the other falls. One slaps, the other turns the other cheek. One takes an eye, the other is without an eye.
Aphorism
Mirrored Force and Balance
If one is pushed too hard, one will fall backward. If one pushes too hard, one will fall forward. To keep balanced, one applies an equal amount of force to that which is applied on him. For the sake of balance, force is mirrored.
If people respond to violence with violence, it is one directional... more violence.
If I don't respond to violence then thats where it stops-- with me. Not speaking for others and how they react because I can only speak-- for me.
If I don't add to the violence then I have "turned the other cheek".
If pushed to hard REVERSE-back up and another falls face forward from their own force...
Which relieves the need to have to fall forward with them due to not returning opposite force.
Therefore balanced reached with one placing force upon themselves as you remain STILL...

en.wikipedia.org...'s_laws_of_motion
Newton's laws of motion are three physical laws that together laid the foundation for classical mechanics. They describe the relationship between a body and the forces acting upon it, and its motion in response to said forces. They have been expressed in several different ways over nearly three centuries, and can be summarized as follows:
First law: When viewed in an inertial reference frame, an object either is at rest or moves at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by an external force.
Second law: The acceleration of a body is directly proportional to, and in the same direction as, the net force acting on the body, and inversely proportional to its mass. Thus, F = ma, where F is the net force acting on the object, m is the mass of the object and a is the acceleration of the object.
Third law: When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to that of the first body.
The balance in 1z perspective is achieved as one remains STILL (observant of the approaching force) why the force unbalanced finds balance after falling and recognizing something went wrong with its approach.
1 can see your point however.
But, unless I'm wrong, I see you examining the
issues you have posted about, in order to
better understand your own personal boundaries
and to find a certain balance --- and I understand
completely and that's exactly as it should be,
should I be characterizing this correctly.
This seems a noble outlook, this I am sure. Your stance would appear to end some aspect of violence.
My problem, however, is that the violent offender would continue being violent, seeing how nothing has yet stood up to it. That violence would continue.
As an example, what if the Nazi's hadn't been met with an equal amount of violence? Would they have continued until the reached their goal?
I am rambling on my passion, sorry.

How does it feel living in a world where one feels the need to defend oneself constantly? To have to appear bigger and better at the start of each interaction is not a pleasant way of living. Life is just a constant battle for most.
