In the face of terror...
“Nonviolence
does not mean that we remain indifferent to a
problem. On the contrary, it is important to be fully
engaged. However, we must behave in a way that does
not benefit us alone. We must not harm the interests
of others. Nonviolence therefore is not merely the
absence of violence. It involves a sense of
compassion and caring. It is almost the manifestation
of compassion. I strongly believe that we must
promote such a concept of nonviolence at the level of
the family as well as at the national and
international levels. Each individual has the ability
to contribute to such compassionate nonviolence.”
