It's a lot tougher to make a difference. It is my firm conviction that nothing enduring can be built on violence. If intellect plays a large part in the field of violence, I hold that it plays a larger part in the field of non-violence. Having flung aside the sword, there is nothing except the cup of love which I can offer to those who oppose me. My experience teaches me that truth can never be propagated by doing violence.
Pure motives can never justify impure or violent action.
When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. The time is always right to do what is right. The Cross of Remembrance Youth are asked to write down prayers, hopes, or insights in relation to their own personal connection to this tragedy. The prayers can be written on paper, then taped to the cross.
