What is Nonviolence and Where does it Derive Power?
This week on Nonviolence Radio, Ela Gandhi, Tom Eddington and Michael Nagler come together for a lively, insightful and uplifting discussion about various aspects of nonviolence, both in theory and in practice. These three experts in the field explore (among other topics) the relationship between morality and nonviolence, the core spiritual element of nonviolence, how a life dedicated to nonviolence is fertile ground for lasting personal happiness, and the crucial difference between strategic and principled nonviolence. The conversation is far reaching and welcoming, itself a kind of manifestation of another key element of nonviolence, an open and curious mindset:
“We have to cultivate a nonjudgmental attitude in order to accept that there are many truths that, you know, listen to other people, not to come to the table with the idea that you have all the answers. But rather to come to the table to be able to listen, and with humility, with compassion, to understand and grow that understanding.”
