It is a common mistake to mix violent behavior with the violence of drives. But the latter is necessary in human life because it constitutes one's strength for self-realization and becoming a subject. The destiny of each human is characterized by a life long process of reconciliation between accepting the violence of desires and rejecting destructive violence.

Creation happens at a point where one neither gives up the fulfillment of his desires nor lets himself be driven to a chaotic state by transgressing the rules of reality. Creation happens when, in order to resolve this tension, one succeeds to find original ways of expression which are not the drives themselves but their symbolic representations.
