Nonviolence is not merely restraint, nor a strategy for avoiding harm; it is a radical way of seeing the world, a way of recognizing every life as sacred. Every human personality is something sacred, something special. When we begin to trust this vision, even the faces of our enemies appear differently. They are no longer monsters to be crushed but fellow beings entangled in a system that wounds them too. The practice of nonviolence unmasks what is false while protecting what is divine. It calls us to resist the temptation of vengeance and to enter instead into the mystery of transforming love. This is not weakness but strength of the highest order, a courage that insists on healing over destruction, on mercy over judgment, on conversion over conquest.

May your heart find strength in the power of tender courage.
