Lite mer Martin Luther King...

Jag fortsätter att inspireras av Martin Luther King och läser just nu det nypublicerade utbildningsmaterialet "Ickevåld & Konflikthantering" som tagits fram inom ramen för samverkansprojektet Fred i Våra Händer.

Citat: "Violence is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all. The old law of eye for an eye leaves everybody blind. Violence is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his or her understanding; it seeks to annihilate rather than convert. Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love. It destroys community and makes brotherhood and sisterhood impossible. It leaves society in monologue rather than dialogue. Voilence ends by defeating itself. It creates bitterness in the surrounding and brutality in the destroyers." (MLK)

Vad mer behövs sägas?
