The wisdom of the human race
Non-violence is not a monastery virtue destined to provide inner peace and garanty individual salvation. But it is a neccessary code of conduct in order to live in society, since it ensures human dignity and respect and permits the advancement of the cause of peace, according to the most cherished wishes of humanity.
