I respect Gandhi.He said "�Nonviolence is the law of the human race and is infinitely greater than, and superior to, brute force."Nonviolense is the most important for us and world.Many people who are innocent are killed everyday!!We should think about peace more deeply.We don't commit a same offense in 21 century.

it will lead to unfair lasting conditions

Hello Nobu,
I also have great respect for Ghandi. He was a Hindu who believed in the principle of satyagraha ('"truth force"), often roughly translated as "way of truth" or "pursuit of truth," and he has inspired people like Martin Luther King, Jr. and Nelson Mandela.
Ghandi was able to accomplish great things through peace. It was Ghandi who managed to get the British to withdraw from India, and he did it through nonviolence. Martin Luther King Jr., who is a Christian, followed the teachings of Christ, and he also accomplish great things through peace. It was Martin Luther King who brought about the great civil rights reforms, and he did it through peace or nonviolence. Ghandi is correct. Nonviolence is greater and superior to brute force. Ghandi, Martin Luther King Jr. and Mandela proved that great things can be accomplished through peace. 
Best regards,
Diana |
