Abstract:

Nonviolence isn’t just for activist. We all need to transform ourselves so that we embody nonviolence. This is a challenge because our society surrounds us with violence. The culture of violence encourages us to engage in violent thinking, violent work, violent relationships, and violent media. So, too often, unless, we are trained to consciously strive to unlearn all these habits of violence. Our first response to a crisis is violence. We need to practice becoming better practitioners of nonviolence every day, just as a doctor needs to practice medicine. Sometimes people who aren’t necessarily trained in nonviolent struggle will try a particular nonviolent action, will face opposition, particularly violent opposition, and then too quickly conclude that nonviolence can’t work. We need to practice building our every day repertoire of nonviolence so that when we do face crises we can draw upon these practical, ethical, and spiritual nonviolent resources. (Gandhi, Arun: online)
