There is an international disease which feeds on the notion that if you have a cause to defend, you can use any means to further your cause, since the end justifies the means. as an international community, we must oppose this notion, whether it be in canada, in the united states, or anywhere else. no cause justifies violence as long as the system provides for change by peaceful means.

More From Richard M. Nixon

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.

In the islamic world, the u.s. is seen in two quite different ways. one view recognizes what an extraordinary country the u.s. is.the other view is of the official united states, the united states of armies and interventions. the united states that in 1953 overthrew the nationalist government of mossadegh in iran and brought back the shah. the united states that has been involved first in the gulf war and then in the tremendously damaging sanctions against iraqi civilians. the united states that is the supporter of israel against the palestinians.

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.
Hate Liars Lying
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

Don't ever let anyone pull you so low as to hate them. we must use the weapon of love. we must have the compassion and understanding for those who hate us. we must realize so many people are taught to hate us that they are not totally responsible for their hate. but we stand in life at midnight; we are always on the threshold of a new dawn.

As heinz pagels has said, the challenge to our civilization which has come from our knowledge of the cosmic energies that fuels the stars, the movement of light and electrons through matter, the intricate molecular order which is the biological basis of life, must be met by the creation of a moral and political order which will accommodate these forces or we shall be destroyed. it will try our deepest resources of reason and compassion.

The human capacity for compassion is not a reflex that is triggered automatically by the presence of another living thing.
