Quote by Henry David Thoreau
I do not wish to kill nor to be killed, but I can foresee circumstances in which these things would be by me unavoidable.
Summary
This quote reflects an individual's reluctance towards violence and an acknowledgment that they do not desire to harm others or be harmed themselves. However, it also acknowledges that there may be circumstances where, despite their personal wishes, they might find themselves in situations where violence becomes unavoidable. It captures the complexity of moral dilemmas that may arise, where individuals may feel compelled to defend themselves or others, even if it goes against their innate aversion to conflict.
