In a world so torn apart by rivalry, anger, and hatred, we have the privileged vocation to be living signs of a love that can bridge all divisions and heal all wounds.
Science and Peace will triumph over Ignorance and War...
To be free, first of all, is to be free from wrong views that are the foundation of all kinds of suffering and fear and violence.
You can't talk about peace nor agreement while terror is used as the main argument.
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 by defeating itself. It creates bitterness in the survivors and brutality in the destroyers.
The right direction leads not only to peace but to knowledge.
Hate destroys the very structure of the personality of the hater. [...] when you start hating anybody, it destroys the very center of your creative response to life and the universe; so love everybody.
By using violence to subjugate one another we are using violence against our own souls.
