"Violence leads to more violence"I think the play Julius Caesar perfectly illustrates the meaning of this quote. It means that when something violent happens then that leads to more violence and bad consequences for everyone. In the play, Brutus and the conspirators decide to kill Casar, but supposedly for the good of Rome. But the one murder leads to Cassius and Brutus also dying and there being no stability in Rome. So that begs the question, how did killing Caesar in the first place help out Rome? It just made it a place of violence and betrayal between old allies. Because when you bring violence into the equation, there's never going to be no one that doesn't want to avenge the people or do something to retaliate. This happens all the time in world current events as well. Often in wars between countries, or invasions of countries the country that has the lower hand will do anything they possibly can to get back at the conquerors for what they've done to them, even if they thought they were doing the right thing.
