Nonviolence

This piece explores the profound philosophy of nonviolence championed by Martin Luther King Jr. and Gandhi. It emphasizes that nonviolence is not passive but a powerful moral force that can transform society. King asserts that unarmed truth and unconditional love will ultimately prevail over oppression and violence, while Gandhi highlights love and truth as essential to overcoming anger. Together, they call for courage, righteousness, and the need to address conflict through love rather than hatred, underscoring that nonviolence requires bravery far beyond that of armed conflict.
