At the center of non-violence
"At the center of non-violence
stands the principle of love."
Martin Luther King, Jr.
"Non-violence requires a double faith,
faith in God
and also faith in man."
Mahatma Gandhi

One day I was asked about my choice: violence or peace? Many people can prefer peace, but I don't like it. Peace is, in many daily life situations, complacency. I prefer to talk about non-violence. That is my personal option. Maybe, because it is in our character, like human beings, to choose the opposite things always.
Accordingly, non-violence is, on the contrary, a kind of violence, where the lack of violence is its main characteristic. Non-violence can be violent, in so far as it affects and confronts the people. For instance, non-violence is illogical (as seen in the picture). Finally, in a world with no clear boundaries, illogical action may be the best idea: artists, writers and even mathematics know that.
