Physical violence does not give off a very high vibe. Maybe I'm the kind who could do some karate chops on tense trapezoid muscles. It could be very good for humanity, if you take the long view. I'm not in preschool, getting banished to the corner because I didn't like the way some kid grabbed at my shirt and I got scared and I scratched his face and drew blood but I had no words to explain myself. I am not an older child on a playground punching the kid who wants to kiss me in the nose and making it bleed because he already got too invasive in my space and my body and I'm sick of it. Maybe this is why our parents agreed to make me have a supervised sleepover at his house and thereafter we were much nicer to each other. I am not a third grader accidentally stabbing a different boy in the forehead / third eye area with a pencil because we're in an argument, getting a lecture about how pencil lead can cause blood poisoning (it didn't though) and then later, on another day, getting asked by him to go skating around a roller rink holding hands for some reason. (We had been off and on friends at school for a few years, and I was about to move far away.)
