I completely agree with you about people having a limited knowledge on topics that we find ourselves backing. And based off of the different moral compasses that guide us, right and wrong could be on the opposite of the spectrum of your counterparts.

While I am not a person who promotes the use of violence to get a point across, I would have to say force does not have to be violent. Just persistence or an aggressive stance could be the force factor.

To believe that people will follow a plan because it is a good idea would be assuming that all people will make the logical decision, which has been proven in numerous fields(economics for one) to not be the case. People will often make choices that are illogical. Thus, people are logically illogical decision makers and this is why I believe that some type of force may have to be implemented for change. Like you said it will not be done instantly but something has to be the catalyst to switch the energy of change or progression from potential energy to kinetic energy. While the black and white of who is wrong and right will not be figured out until time tells, staying in a unpleasant situation because you are trying balance the scales can do just as much harm if not more than one who forces an agenda.

I appreciate your perspective and enjoyed reading your comment.
