Satyagraha
SHERO
On Responsibility: Change can come in many ways.. sometimes by
violence which not only kills the present but damages generations to
come... or by peaceful protest and refusing to follow the status quo.
Leaders such as Gandhi and Martin Luther King used the concept
Satyagraha which meant peaceful protest and refusing to cooperate with
anything that was deemed wrong. The entire point of non-violence is to
maintain tranquility of the mind so you can see things clearly and have greater understanding. You see when we are yelling and
screaming at each other in our homes or offices or are shooting each
other in the streets the part of the brain that is looking for solutions
shuts down. Violence (whether verbal or physical) leads to greater
violence. Peace leads to greater peace... The responsibility lies in
our hands... Leadership comes in all forms, shapes and sizes....What do
you want for yourself and your family and for your country and
ultimately for the planet... There will always be someone who simply
cares for their own personal gain... but I believe there are more people
who want the best for themselves as well as others.. win win... Don't
give up, don't give in, don't get depressed.... This is not about just
sitting under a willow tree and singing kumbaya wishing things will get
better...it's about taking constructive interdependent action in our day
to day lives and leading by example...
Satyagraha...
No more violence.. whether at home, in your office, or on the streets
with guns... whether to girls or boys of all backgrounds, races,
religions, gender or ages... Stop judging each other based on limiting
beliefs.. none of us are omnipotent, omniscient or omnipresent...
