Historically, peace has often been simplified as the absence of conflict. However, fundamental peace, as conceptualized in modern discourse, transcends this basic definition. It's an elevated state of societal tranquility that's not just about avoiding conflict, but about creating an environment where individuals and communities can flourish holistically. Integral to achieving this state is the principle of non-violence.
The idea of non-violence goes beyond merely refraining from physical harm. It's a holistic approach that also involves avoiding verbal and emotional aggression, promoting understanding, compassion, and unity. It's about choosing actions that prioritize mutual respect and harmony over divisiveness and harm.
The Historical Pillars of Non-Violence
The principle of non-violence isn't new. Across the corridors of time, many cultures and civilizations have echoed the values of non-violence. Some notable figures have become the embodiments of this principle: Mahatma Gandhi's Satyagraha and The Civil Rights Movement in the U.S.
