A good
day to reflect on the six principles of Kingian nonviolence:
-
Nonviolence
is a way of life for courageous people.
-
Nonviolence
is an effort to achieve a reconciled world by raising the level of relationships
among all people to a height where justice prevails and persons attain
full human potential.
-
Nonviolence
attacks forces of evil and acts of evil, but never persons as evil. Nonviolence
believes in the utimate good of every person and seeks reconciliation.
-
Nonviolence
accepts suffering without retaliation for its moral power toward achieving
a goal.
-
Nonviolence
avoids internal violence of the spirit as well as external physical violence.
-
Nonviolence
believes that the moral arc of the universe bends toward justice.
