Non-Violence

Those who engage in strategic non-violence can only do so effectively with boundless love and in the total absence of fear. This means only the most courageous people--those with the greatest hearts; those who have no fear of hardship, ridicule, punishment or death--can genuinely engage in non-violent action. Strategic non-violence has absolutely no place for the timid, loveless or cowardly.
