practise ahimsa (non-violence) towards myself and others

It would be better if, instead of a thousand words,
There was only one, a word that brought Peace.
It would be better if, instead of a thousand poems,
There was only one, a poem that revealed true Beauty.
It would be better if, instead of a thousand songs,
There was only one, a song that spread Happiness.

Non-violence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind.
It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction
devised by the ingenuity of man.
Mohandas Gandhi

This has been an extremely tough week for this goal.

Are not good men.

Men that are passionate,

Can be good men.

Because I’m becoming more conscious of how violent exchanges are so common place.

Plus, I work at a hotel, it’s easy to want to become verbally violent.

One in essence that is simple but in practise is not. However, it does make me more aware of my behaviour and actions…

It extends to every action and every thought…

this goal is similar to the ‘be good to myself in mind, body and spirit’ goal that I have, but it also extends to all other beings on the planet. It seems to me to be a crucial act towards creating and gaining peace in the world…
