24. As I posted above about gandhi,
he said its nobler to take up arms and fight than be cowed or oppressed, but non-violence is the highest path. The truth is most people don't have the balls for true non-violence at all though, which is why I respect your opinion. I don't know if when the bullets are flying I could actually act like Jesus and love my enemy, especially if I had a gun lying right next to me and could hold them back. But I don't deny the purity of the principle, and the nobility of true non-violent acts when they actually occur.
