I Hate Conflict

I learned to never ever let people pull me down so low as to hate them. Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding. Only reverence can restrain violence — reverence for human life and the environment. If we talk to a person in a language they understand, that goes to their head. If we talk to them in their language, that goes to their heart.

However, we should never to be silent whenever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Let all bear in mind that a society is judged not so much by the standards attained by its more affluent and privileged members as by the quality of life which it is able to assure for its weakest members.
