NONVIOLENCE

Nonviolence is the only recipe for any conflict

Nonviolence is when one side says I’m not going to fight

Nonviolence is walking away

Nonviolence is standing and declaring unconditional love and allowing your enemy to kill you if that is what your enemy wills to do

Nonviolence does not end any life

It makes it noble, courageous, loving

Leaders who do not embrace nonviolence are not leaders

They are passive or active inciters of violence

They are conflict inciters

They ignite fires and protect their posteriors and celebrate their strength

They are weak and small and of no account save in the gaze of love

That gaze is constant

They do not see it

The nonviolent see it and know it

None finally die

Leaders are blind
