Nonviolence is the greatest and most active force in the world. The more you develop it in your own being, the more infectious it becomes till it overwhelms your surroundings and by and by might oversweep the world. —Mohandas Gandhi

Fortunately there are some proponents who will always promote non-violence 4woody. It does at least temper the mood of the world.

They are out there 4woody, otherwise we'd all be sunk already! I for one not only practice non-violence but try to promote it whenever I can.

I wonder ... could we (all the little people) possibly be more effective than all the world "powers" if we choose every day to be non-violent.

This part... The more you develop it in your own being, the more infectious it becomes till it overwhelms your surroundings and by and by might oversweep the world. Do you develope non-violence each day in yourself? Is your non-violence infectious? Do you think it could overwhelm your world?
