What Non-violence means to me

Working against the roots of violence, or systematic violence.

"The Roots of Violence:
Wealth without work
Pleasure without conscience
Knowledge without character
Commerce without morality
Science without humanity
Worship without sacrifice
Politics without principles."

- Mohandas K. Gandhi

"Peace has to be created, in order to be maintained. It is the product of faith, strength, energy, will, sympathy, justice, imagination, and the triumph of principle. It will never be achieved by passivity and quietism."

- Dorothy Thompson
