This idea, as stated, is correct but let’s not eschew force as a completely bad thing as it is half of what it take to accomplish goals. When one is being oppressed it may require force to win freedom from the oppressor.
In winning the game of life it requires good judgement of when to use force and when to use intelligence.
Those who cannot confront force or effort or will not use them become the slaves of miscreants who are not so encumbered.
