Only a philosophy of eternity, in the world today, could justify non-violence.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Non-violence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind. It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man.
Non-violence is the article of faith.
Much violence is based on the illusion that life is a property to be defended and not to be shared.
Non-violence and truth are inseparable and presuppose one another.
All violence consists in some people forcing others, under threat of suffering or death, to do what they do not want to do.
We do violence to the consciousness of a past age when we divide what was indivisible to it: the one sacred truth of the Christian creed.
Non-violence leads to the highest ethics, which is the goal of all evolution. Until we stop harming all other living beings, we are still savages.
I think violence can never be justified.
Non-violence requires a double faith, faith in God and also faith in man.
In a world where change is inevitable and continuous, the need to achieve that change without violence is essential for survival.
