I think the difficulty is that most of us, at least those who are in #authority, they prefer #violence because they want quick solutions and to be able to #control people through #fear. And so they encourage more and more violence so that they could maintain that fear.
And it has seeped so deep down into society that we, even our #parenting style has become violent. Every time we #punish a child for misbehavior we are planting the first seeds of violence in their minds. They come to realize that anybody who does something wrong must be punished. And so that whole cycle of violence continues from there.
What it means now is that we have to look for an alternative and try to incorporate that in our life. And i think that is what my grandfather [ #MahatmaGandhi ] wanted to do and he demonstrated through his philosophy and his life, that it can be achieved and it can be done if we have that desire to do it.
