It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding: it seeks to annihilate rather than convert. Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love. It destroys community and makes brotherhood impossible. It leaves society in monologue rather than dialogue. Violence ends up defeating itself. It creates bitterness in the survivors and brutality in the destroyers.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cNonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time; the need for mankind to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to oppression and violence. Mankind must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression, and retaliation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe foundation of such a method is love.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cInjustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe will not build a peaceful world by following a negative path. It is not enough to say we must not wage war. It is necessary to love peace and sacrifice for it. We must concentrate not merely on the negative expulsion of war but on the positive affirmation of peace. We must see that peace represents a sweeter music, a cosmic melody, that is far superior to the discords of war. Somehow, we must transform the dynamics of the world power struggle from the negative nuclear arms race, which no one can win, to a positive contest to harness humanity\u2019s creative genius for the purpose of making peace and prosperity a reality for all the nations of the world. In short, we must shift the arms race into a peace race.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIf we have a will \u2013 and determination \u2013 to mount such a peace offensive, we will unlock hitherto tightly sealed doors of hope and transform our imminent cosmic elegy into a psalm of creative fulfillment.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThose who love peace must learn to organize as effectively as those who love war<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope. I have the audacity to believe that people everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies, education and culture for their minds, and dignity, equality and freedom for their spirits. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear. I have also decided to stick with love, for I know that love is ultimately the only answer to mankind\u2019s problems. And I\u2019m going to talk about it everywhere I go. I know it isn\u2019t popular to talk about it in some circles today. And I\u2019m not talking about emotional bosh when I talk about love; I\u2019m talking about a strong, demanding love. For I have seen too much hate. I\u2019ve seen too much hate on the faces of sheriffs in the South. I\u2019ve seen hate on the faces of too many Klansmen and too many White Citizen Counselors in the South to want to hate, myself, because every time I see it, I know that it does something to their faces and their personalities, and I say to myself that hate is too great a burden to bear. I have decided to love. If you are seeking the highest good, I think you can find it through love.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cNonviolence means avoiding not only external physical violence but also internal violence of spirit. You not only refuse to shoot a man, but you refuse to hate him. Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal Loving Your Enemies\u2026 Far from being the pious injunction of a utopian dreamer, this demand is an absolute necessity for the survival of our civilization. Yes it is love that will save our world and civilization; love even for our enemies.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI still believe that one day mankind will bow before the altars of God and be crowned triumphant over war and bloodshed, and nonviolent redemptive goodwill will proclaim the rule of the land. Most of these people will never make the headlines and their names will not appear in Who\u2019s Who. Yet when years have rolled past and when the blazing light of truth is focused on this marvelous age in which we live\u2013men and women will know and children will be taught that we have a finer land, a better people, a more noble civilization\u2013because these humble children of God were willing to suffer for righteousness\u2019 sake. So it goes. Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAs you press on for justice, be sure to move with dignity and discipline, using only the weapon of love. Let no man pull you so low as to hate him. Always avoid violence. If you succumb to the temptation of using violence in your struggle, unborn generations will be the recipients of a long and desolate night of bitterness, and your chief legacy to the future will be an endless reign of meaningless chaos.\u201d<\/div><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 19px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 19px;\">\n<div id=\"attachment_11712\" style=\"width: 258px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/peacealliance.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/82-Mr.-Steve-Killelea.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11712\" class=\"wp-image-11712\" src=\"https:\/\/peacealliance.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/82-Mr.-Steve-Killelea.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"248\" height=\"248\" srcset=\"https:\/\/peacealliance.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/82-Mr.-Steve-Killelea.jpg 768w, https:\/\/peacealliance.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/82-Mr.-Steve-Killelea-336x336.jpg 336w, https:\/\/peacealliance.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/82-Mr.-Steve-Killelea-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/peacealliance.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/82-Mr.-Steve-Killelea-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/peacealliance.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/82-Mr.-Steve-Killelea-160x160.jpg 160w, https:\/\/peacealliance.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/82-Mr.-Steve-Killelea-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/peacealliance.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/82-Mr.-Steve-Killelea-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/peacealliance.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/82-Mr.-Steve-Killelea-705x705.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 248px) 100vw, 248px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-11712\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Steve Killelea<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Steve Killelea is an Australian IT entrepreneur and founder of the Institute for Economics and Peace, a global think tank. <span class=\"collapseomatic \" id=\"id68884d76939d0\"  tabindex=\"0\" title=\"&lt;strong&gt;Click here for quotes&lt;\/strong&gt;\"    ><strong>Click here for quotes<\/strong><\/span><div id=\"target-id68884d76939d0\" class=\"collapseomatic_content \"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe\u2019ve got one word for Peace\u2026.

across the way of indifferent suns To a destination where all signs tell us It is possible and imperative that we learn A brave and startling truth<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">And when we come to it To the day of peacemaking When we release our fingers From fists of hostility And allow the pure air to cool our palms<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">When we come to it When the curtain falls on the minstrel show of hate And faces sooted with scorn and scrubbed clean When battlefields and coliseum No longer rake our unique and particular sons and daughters Up with the bruised and bloody grass To lie in identical plots in foreign soil<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">When the rapacious storming of the churches The screaming racket in the temples have ceased When the pennants are waving gaily When the banners of the world tremble Stoutly in the good, clean breeze<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">When we come to it When we let the rifles fall from our shoulders And children dress their dolls in flags of truce When land mines of death have been removed And the aged can walk into evenings of peace When religious ritual is not perfumed By the incense of burning flesh And childhood dreams are not kicked awake By nightmares of abuse<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">When we come to it Then we will confess that not the Pyramids With their stones set in mysterious perfection Nor the Gardens of Babylon Hanging as eternal beauty In our collective memory Not the Grand Canyon Kindled into delicious color By Western sunsets<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Nor the Danube, flowing its blue soul into Europe Not the sacred peak of Mount Fuji Stretching to the Rising Sun Neither Father Amazon nor Mother Mississippi who, without favor, Nurture all creatures in the depths and on the shores These are not the only wonders of the world<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">When we come to it We, this people, on this minuscule and kithless globe Who reach daily for the bomb, the blade and the dagger Yet who petition in the dark for tokens of peace We, this people on this mote of matter In whose mouths abide cankerous words Which challenge our very existence Yet out of those same mouths Come songs of such exquisite sweetness That the heart falters in its labor And the body is quieted into awe<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:

healing, irresistible tenderness That the haughty neck is happy to bow And the proud back is glad to bend Out of such chaos, of such contradiction We learn that we are neither devils nor divines<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">When we come to it We, this people, on this wayward, floating body Created on this earth, of this earth Have the power to fashion for this earth A climate where every man and every woman Can live freely without sanctimonious piety Without crippling fear<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">When we come to it We must confess that we are the
