One of the many things I learned from Gandhi is to understand the depth and breadth of nonviolence and to acknowledge that one is violent and that one needs to bring about a qualitative change in one's attitude. Unless we become the change we wish to see in the world no change will ever take place.
Everything that we do is conditioned by selfish motives.
Nonviolence means allowing the positive within you to emerge. Be dominated by love, respect, understanding, appreciation, compassion and concern for others rather than the self-centered and selfish, greedy, hateful, prejudiced, suspicious and aggressive attitudes that dominate our thinking.
If we change ourselves we can change the world and changing ourselves begins with changing our language and methods of communication.
Words are windows or they're walls. Try to listen through my words, to the feelings and we share.
