Ideology of Peace
PEACE IN NATURE
~ 102 ~
In our world innumerable events take place,
governed by the law of nature: for instance, the
continuous rotation of the earth, the receiving of
light from the sun, the blowing of the wind, the
onset of rains, the flowing of rivers, the growing of
plants and trees, etc. All occurrences of this nature
continue day and night. How striking it is that they
occur in an extremely peaceful manner. There is no
violence, no clash, no confrontation.
This being the natural way of reform, human beings
ought to follow this way of nature, completely
shunning violence and confrontation.
They should not conduct themselves like the violent
individual who relies on things like swords, gun or
bombs, but should draw their strength from noble
human qualities, such as patience, forbearance,
avoidance of conflict, a willingness for mutual
adjustment, etc. These strategies of a peace-loving
person are in conformance with the eternal and
ineluctable laws of nature. Those who go against
them will certainly create great disturbances
everywhere; they will never be able to establish a
reformed system.
