Nihad SireesI believe that love and peace are the right way to confront tyranny.
About This Quote
The world is full of people who would use an expression like “love and peace” as a way of making themselves look good by taking on the guise of being a saviour. These people think that just because they have the word “love” in their titles or mottos that they are somehow superior or more important than others. It is not just these individuals who are speaking against love, but also those who are so mired by evil thoughts that they are unable to see the value of it. The best way to confront tyranny is to use love and peace as your weapons, so you can free yourself from its grasp.
It is true that you cannot do anything about the evil nature of some people, but you don’t have to take it on yourselves. There are many ways of fighting back, some peaceful and some more violent, but all are effective in some way or another.
