Does the observation apply to everyone, under all circumstances?

Except that all too often, it is not straightforward aggression that creates problems, it is oblivious stupidity, of the "Why shouldn't I empty my chamber pot in the street?" sort. There are just too many people who, if they can't see the consequences of their actions right then and there, will assume that those consequences just don't exist.

I don't see anyone using chamber pots, nor do I see them emptying them in the streets. We are no longer living in the 16th century. BTW, there is a difference between stupidity, ignorance and willful disregard.

Fine, when you manage to convince everyone that 'let live' is just as important as 'live' :-)

If you don't support "let live" you will end up living in a world of imposed misery. "Misery loves company." It a very social concept and a socialistic one. We must share everything. And when there is little left worth sharing, we will continue to share misery.
