INTRODUCTION Social causes occupy a place that varies from age to age within the political and administrative priorities. In general we can say that they are relegated and served in a little human through the offices of all kinds where bureaucracy reigns.
Individuals affected by this situation are disunited, each can fight if their weapons, complaints often without social effect, unsupported claims, no public opinion. Many others have given up any fight because they have suffered the failure of previous attempts. Sometimes age is not already provided for movement. Poverty is another obstacle. The forces of repression or of order (!) Are always better equipped psychologically and materially to the plaintiffs.
When we say that we must resort to non-violence in general population understand the promotion of a social state in which there would be no violence. Certainly the violence could be reduced when we apply the strategies and tactics of nonviolent struggle, but violence is replaced by actions that Gandhi also called war without weapons.
Nonviolence is not a response in opposition to violence. That is, does not come immediately to counter violence. Non-violence is often pursued the same objectives as much violence rooted in the suffering and injustice. Nonviolence is action for truth and against injustice. You struggle. Write the word non-violence with a capital because it is taken as the quintessential attitude also changes direction in philosophy.
Instead of overcoming injustice violent actions that are generally ineffective, we resort to another mode of action that does reach the goal to eliminate the injustices it creates a new culture.
Nonviolence is offered as an option and I can almost say, at this moment in history as the only option to defend the rights of self and others and to promote the development of individuals. Another result will be to improve systems of care to society that should correct the wrongdoing to the effective pressure of citizens ready and convinced of the value of their methods.
Nonviolence is action: it must be repeated as many times as necessary because "no" we could not remove a word makes us think of an absence and then jump to the lack of action only there is a step that could easily have skipped most of convenience or fear.
Nonviolence is action, struggle is the struggle of the poor who have no weapons other than his intelligence and his own body. It is also necessary to emphasize that this action is carried out with the body.
many times the word lie, the body never. There is a moment in the debate or dialogue in which words fly, the trades produce other trades sent answer, then the body should be put forward.
struggle of the poor is because it is not possible to acquire weapons like those used by the powerful, but deadly weapons is no more important for another reason. The man has dignity and this dignity should be respected. The violence that injures and kills not respect the dignity of the individual. Non-violence does not stick, no slaps, which does not hurt, does not kill the enemy remains in a dignified position for possible dialogue and, tomorrow, partners remain common causes found in the debate and resistance.
