THE WAYS AND MEANS OF PEACE
JUST as violence is a way of life, so is peace a
complete culture in itself. Just as there are methods
of violence, so are there clear principles and
methods of peace. Here, we mention certain
methods which are of relevance to the conduct of
peaceful activities. This will show how the culture
of peace can be established and how one’s course of
life can be planned, in all matters, so that all human
beings may find the opportunities to realize their
ambitions.
TOLERANCE IS PEACE
The result of intolerance is violence and the result of
tolerance is peace. This sums up what peace and
violence essentially are. An atmosphere of peace
will prevail in any society which is characterized by
tolerance, while an atmosphere of violence will
prevail in any society in which the majority of the
people are lacking in tolerance. And, according to
the system of nature, violence is neither beneficial
for its perpetrators, nor for those who have been
subjected to violence.
