for us to move forward, we have to be people of non-violence.

We must try to create new ways of dealing with conflict. We must be creative. We can’t resort to violence. That is the way of falseness. We must look deeper than our falseness to the light, love, and wisdom to find new ways, new beginnings, to handle the extreme falseness within ourselves, our enemies, and all of creation.

Maybe we haven’t tried hard enough? Maybe we know that, in the back of our minds, we always have violence. The problem comes with the fact that, oftentimes, violence works in the short run. It answers quickly and (seemingly) solves the problem. But for us to move forward, we have to be people of non-violence. We should be leading the charge for non-violence, to come up with new, non violent ways of dealing with conflict within ourselves, our families, our communities, our nations, and our world.

Peace be with you.
