Purification of Violence

Is a scorched earth a fertile ground? The dilemma that faces so many of us seems to be (possibly necessary) 'Is a certain amount of violence good' or maybe 'Violence itself is obtaining virtuous attributes'.

In Italy, for 30 years out of the bourgeois they had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed but they produced Michaelangelo, Leonardo de Vinci aneonardo de Vinci and the Renaissance.

Murderers and torturers are walking free because Murderers and torturers are walking free because a visionary said 'Enough Violence', 'Time to Build', 'I'm free, you should be free'.
