Active nonviolence is a silent power, a gradual influence that draws its strength from mutual inspiration, and that grows from a few to many voices that the oppressor can no longer shut down.
What does it mean to be nonviolent? How do we avoid fantasy violence? Is helping in times of war enabling war? What will we do when faced with danger? These questions are difficult to answer.
The call to live a life of non-violence is not easy or straight forward, and it becomes even more complicated when we are in contexts that are unfamiliar. Our contexts shape our worldview, values, morals, and understanding of what is considered violence or peace.
As a Christian who believes in non- violence, I must aim to love others without considering what the other person has to offer. I believe that peace, non-violence, justice cannot come into existence if love is absent. Love makes the world go round.
