We've been in the mountain of war. we've been in the mountain of violence. we've been in the mountain of hatred long enough. it is necessary to move on now, but only by moving out of this mountain can we move to the promised land of justice and brotherhood and the kingdom of god. it all boils down to the fact that we must never allow ourselves to become satisfied with unattained goals. we must always maintain a kind of divine discontent.

Goal Facts Kind
We must realize that violence is not confined to physical violence. fear is violence, caste discrimination is violence, exploitation of others, however subtle, is violence, segregation is violence, thinking ill of others and condemning others are violence. in order to reduce individual acts of physical violence, we must work to eliminate violence at all levels, mental, verbal, personal, and social, including violence to animals, plants, and all other forms of life.
Fear Thinking Animal
I'm concerned about a better world. i'm concerned about justice; i'm concerned about brotherhood; i'm concerned about truth. and when one is concerned about that, he can never advocate violence. for through violence you may murder a murderer, but you can't murder murder. through violence you may murder a liar, but you can't establish truth. through violence you may murder a hater, but you can't murder hate through violence. darkness cannot put out darkness; only light can do that.
Motivational Hate Liars
All violence is injustice. responding to violence with violence is injustice, not only to the other person but also to oneself. responding to violence with violence resolves nothing; it only escalates violence, anger and hatred. it is only with compassion that we can embrace and disintegrate violence. this is true in relationships between individuals as well as in relationships between nations.
Compassion Hatred Violence
The kingdom of god is available to you in the here and the now. but the question is whether you are available to the kingdom. our practice is to make ourselves ready for the kingdom so that it can manifest in the here and the now. you don't need to die in order to enter the kingdom of heaven. in fact, you have to be truly alive in order to do so.
Order Practice Heaven
I must remind you that starving a child is violence. suppressing a culture is violence. neglecting school children is violence. punishing a mother and her family is violence. discrimination against a working man is violence. ghetto housing is violence. ignoring medical need is violence. contempt for poverty is violence.

Mother Thinking Years
Over and over again, stories in women's magazines insist that women can know fulfillment only at the moment of giving birth to a child. they deny the years when she can no longer look forward to giving birth, even if she repeats the act over and over again. in the feminine mystique, there is no other way for a woman to dream of creation or of the future. there is no other way she can even dream about herself, except as her children's mother, her husband's wife.
