More From Nhat Hanh

We must realize that violence is not confined to physical violence. fear is violence, caste discrimination is violence, exploitation of others, however subtle, is violence, segregation is violence, thinking ill of others and condemning others are violence. in order to reduce individual acts of physical violence, we must work to eliminate violence at all levels, mental, verbal, personal, and social, including violence to animals, plants, and all other forms of life.

Everything comes by being! be the love you seek. be the friend you seek. be the lover you seek. be the honesty you seek. be the integrity you seek. be the patience you seek. be the tolerance you seek. be the compassion you seek.

I must remind you that starving a child is violence. suppressing a culture is violence. neglecting school children is violence. punishing a mother and her family is violence. discrimination against a working man is violence. ghetto housing is violence. ignoring medical need is violence. contempt for poverty is violence.

It just was a gradual development over the years. i mean last year was 'all you need is love.' this year, it's 'all you need is love and peace, baby.' give peace a chance, and remember love. the only hope for us is peace. violence begets violence. you can have peace as soon as you like if we all pull together. you're all geniuses, and you're all beautiful. you don't need anyone to tell you who you are. you are what you are. get out there and get peace, think peace, and live peace and breathe peace, and you'll get it as soon as you like.

All violence is injustice. responding to violence with violence is injustice, not only to the other person but also to oneself. responding to violence with violence resolves nothing; it only escalates violence, anger and hatred. it is only with compassion that we can embrace and disintegrate violence. this is true in relationships between individuals as well as in relationships between nations.
Compassion Hatred Violence
Violence never really deals with the basic evil of the situation. violence may murder the murderer, but it doesn’t murder murder. violence may murder the liar, but it doesn’t murder lie; it doesn’t establish truth. violence may even murder the dishonest man, but it doesn’t murder dishonesty. violence may go to the point of murdering the hater, but it doesn’t murder hate. it may increase hate. it is always a descending spiral leading nowhere. this is the ultimate weakness of violence: it multiplies evil and violence in the universe. it doesn’t solve any problems.

I worry that if i enjoy something - like the songs on 'some nights' are about wondering about who you are. i'm never quite sure and i'd hate to feel sort of content and get a good sense of who i am because if i know one thing, that's not me. i don't mind not necessarily being happy about it. and that's fine.

The way to work with a bully is to take the ball and go home. first time, every time. when there's no ball, there's no game. bullies hate that. so they'll either behave so they can play with you or they'll go bully someone else.
