Stay committed to nonviolence from "summary" of Across That Bridge by John Lewis
To truly bring about lasting change, we must stay committed to nonviolence. This means embracing a way of life that rejects hatred and violence in all its forms. It requires us to approach conflicts with a spirit of love and understanding, even when faced with injustice and oppression. Nonviolence is not simply the absence of physical force, but a proactive choice to respond to hatred with love, to respond to violence with peace. Staying committed to nonviolence requires strength and courage. It is not the easy path, but it is the right one. It means standing firm in our convictions, even when faced with adversity. It means having the moral courage to speak out against injustice, even when it is unpopular or dangerous. Nonviolence is not passive, but an active force for good in the world. Nonviolence is not about being weak or passive. It is a powerful tool for social change. By refusing to respond to violence with violence, we are able to break the cycle of hatred and create a space for dialogue and reconciliation. Nonviolence is a way to transform hearts and minds, to build bridges where there were once walls. Staying committed to nonviolence means believing in the inherent worth and dignity of every human being. It means recognizing that we are all connected, that we are all part of the same human family. When we choose nonviolence, we are choosing to see the humanity in others, even in those who may seek to do us harm. Nonviolence is not about ignoring or denying the reality of conflict and oppression. It is about confronting these injustices with a spirit of love and compassion. It is about working towards a more just and peaceful world for all. When we stay committed to nonviolence, we are taking a stand for what is right and just, even in the face of adversity.
