Keeping in mind that we are all human, and all suffer, and are all mortal, can be a good way to remember that you don't have all the answers, either. A.J. was in no hurry to 'correct' his opponent, nor was Gandhi. But in nonviolent struggle the objective is not to have a victor but to change the situation itself - a radically different concept. I ask you to listen today to this article, to other pacifists and to other people who may have views radically different from yours. Instead of jumping up to disagree, try to figure out why I, or they, have the views we have.
Conflict seems to be a stubborn aspect of the human condition.
Resolving these conflicts through violence doesn't have to be.
