"I'm afraid you won't like my analogy for the answer." I like that you tackle the question; but I have a couple questions for you:
Does the fact that the so-called 'vaccine' was a failure and a violation of human peace suggest that the effort should not be used as an analogy? [see (amazingly from Boston globe, one of the staunchest newspapers supporting the whole thing): "The case against Anthony Fauci" — — https://www.bostonglobe.com/2025/03/09/opinion/covid-five-year-anniversary-2020-mistakes/ ]
Given that violence is woven into animal relations (and maybe beyond animals) competing for dominance (the alpha role), should we be talking about the difference between that and the violence that characterizes 'human civilization'?
I've been pondering this last question for some time, including when you share various stories for children.
The fact that natural violence is inherent throughout the Universe as an element of change ultimately resulting in new growth leads me to consider if is a integral part of our functional DNA. Since I’ve always been tied to a warrior philosophy, mutated by an American upbringing in a culture of violence, I find myself considering it as an alternative anytime my family is threatened. I wrote this as an attempt to spur others to question when we might reach a point in the near future where other choices disappear and to maintain the health and safety of our families we are obliged, once again to confront the enemy.
[The ongoing humanitarian crisis and severe sectarian violence in Syria are direct outcomes of policies dating back to the "Clean Break" doctrine of 1996, by a D.C. think tank which counseled Benjamin Netanyahu to make a "clean break" from "the previous government's 'peace process'." (their quotes) which it saw as a serious weakness. ]

Thanks for tackling the tough ones!
