Non-Violence



As an adjunct to the recent post on martial arts, I came across a quote I found some years back.
Let me share it with you:

"Non-violence does not admit of running away from danger. Between violence and cowardly flight, I can only prefer violence to cowardice."

Mahatma Gandhi

I always joke that the Mahatma Ghandi school of non-violence motto is "Just lie there and take it". However, it really takes as much guts to accomplish what he did through non-violence than it does to kick the stuffing out of someone.
