Gandhi Non-Violence
Ten principles of non-violent action:
- Humiliating or deliberately provoking your opponent invites violence.
- Knowing your facts and arguments well helps avoid violence.
- If you are open about your cause your opponent is less likely to be violent.
- Look for common ground between you and your opponents to promote trust and understanding.
- Do not judge others.
- Trust your opponent. They will sense this trust.
- Compromise on inessential items to promote resolution.
- Sincerity helps convert your opponent.
- By making personal sacrifice you show your sincerity.
- Avoid exploiting weakness in your opponent. Aim for integrity, not simply to win.
