Nonviolent action does not have to get others to be nice. It can in effect force them to consult their consciences.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
People just deserve to be treated with kindness.
I guess the verdict is in - I am not a sociopath. It's not effective or productive not to be nice. It would undermine the goals I want to achieve on any given day.
Kindness can become its own motive. We are made kind by being kind.
I have a low tolerance for people who complain about things but never do anything to change them. This led me to conclude that the single largest pool of untapped natural resources in this world is human good intentions that are never translated into actions.
In nonviolence you must go full steam ahead, if you want the good to come speedily you must go about it with vigor.
To repay evils with kindness is the religion I was taught to practise, and this will forever be my rule.
Kindness is loving people more than they deserve.
Forcing people to be generous isn't humanitarian, effective, compassionate or moral. Only acts that are truly voluntary for all concerned can be truly compassionate.
Nonviolence is a good policy when the conditions permit.
Remember there's no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end.
