educational institutions nor research institutes have
ever been established by violent means. Iron’s
conversion into machines and major city planning
have all been done by the power of peace, not of

setting up of the relevant infrastructure—all
progressive measures have been carried into effect
by peaceful strategies.

the law of nature and as such is immutable.

People generally hold that so and so community or
nation is their enemy. Then, for most people,
enmity becomes both the cause of and justification
for taking to a course of violence. They take up an
aggressive stance, openly or covertly, ostensibly to
put an end to the enmity. But this is as
misconceived a plan of action as any could be
which has been devised on the supposition that war
can be any kind of solution.
