Satyagraha


I believe in satyagraha - "truth force"....

NON-VIOLENCE and NON-VIOLENT RESISTANCE...

and NON-VIOLENT DIRECT ACTION.

I believe in peace. In building peace. In doing all that can be done to make peace.

I believe that it is non-violence that is the way.

-------


In the "mental health system" there should be no violence or compulsion of any kind.

The best way to achieve this is by ourselves practising non-violence.


-------
I say these things in full cognisance of bellicose sentiments that I may have expressed.
These are often more metaphorical than literal.

It is possible that in some circumstances violence may be justified.
But I believe in working for peace.
