I posed this series of questions to her: Is fire violent [yes]. Is a fire raging through a forest a bad thing [yes]. But if it is bad, why does the forest proliferate after the fire? The fire creates much needed nutrients and clears away old growth for new life to sprout forth. So is the fire bad?
Arguing along these lines, the protests and “violence” in the streets are fire. Our cities/states/country are the forest. We may need this “violence” to clear away the old and make room for the new. This “violence” may provide the nutrients we need for seeds of change to grow into a beautiful forest that provides for all her children.
