Ahimsa is an attribute of the brave. Cowardice and ahimsa don't go together any more that water and fire.
Mahatma GandhiWhile everything around me is ever changing, ever dying, there is underlying that change a living power that is changeless, that holds all together, that creates, dissolves and recreates.... For I can see in the midst of death, life persists, in the midst of untruth, truth persists, in the midst of darkness light persists.
Mahatma Gandhi
