Summary

This quote emphasizes the objection towards violence by pointing out its fleeting beneficence and permanent negative consequences. It suggests that although violence may seem to bring about positive outcomes in certain situations, any good achieved is short-lived. In contrast, the lasting impact of violence is the perpetuation of evil. Therefore, the quote asserts that violence should be rejected as a means for achieving lasting good, due to the long-lasting harm it inevitably causes.
