---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Those who use violence may seem powerful, but it is actually the weapon of cowards. They use it because they are afraid of their opponents. Violence only causes more violence. This creates a vicious cycle, until both parties are deeply hurt. And when this happens between countries, it leads to continuous brutal wars.
"Engaging in dialogue and taking sincere action is the way to build peace. To carry out such efforts, we first need the courage to overcome our own fears. When our attitude changes, the attitude of the other person will change, too. Nonviolence is the 'weapon' of the brave."
