They're both solutions, violence is more often an option rather than relying on the intelligence of both parties. If you think otherwise then I think you're naive and would benefit by gaining experiences other than your own. "But hitting back only works if you're stronger than them." It's easily arguable that this is case when strength is measured in intelligence rather than physically. The correct way is by intelligence but by being prudent in a Machiavellian sense and knowing when you need to be physical and when you can and should use a civilized argument. But just painting every situation as one of white or black for all time is nice abstractly but it's not practical.
