Violence and non- violence cannot be distinguished from external factors alone. The real test of compassion is our correct motivation and how we conduct ourselves in daily life and not what we merely say or do physically. What is true of individuals is true of nations. One cannot forgive too much. The weak can never forgive.
Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
If you want peace, strive for justice. One day, when the weather is bad, A ray of sunshine will Light the grey clouds. On that day, everyone alive on our planet Will join to form a ring crossing the oceans. Be they black, yellow or white, big or small, From Asia, Africa or America. They will know the eternal meaning of peace.
