Non--violence

Fighting in most cases do not really solve a problem but worsens it. What has America achieved in Iraq? Martin Luther King achieved a lot via his non-violent means for humanity. I have two grown boys and i instilled in them to stand up for their rihgts without being violent. They are now in their 20s and so far never been involved in violence.

Non-violence is of course the best course of action for any issue, but perhaps not always the right one. Yes it worked for Martin Luther King and Gahndi, but some times force is a necessary evil; even for peace sometimes. I don't think a philosophy of non-violence would have stopped Hitler. Some people can't be reasoned with.That being said, war and violence should only be used when every other solution has been exhausted. But I think I would tell my kids to stand up for themselves. I myself, have never been in a physical fight, but if I was, I wouldn't take it lying down.

it depends on the situation.If someone try to shut your mouth for the thing which is not right and he is doing that then i will definitely oppose him and do whatever it takes to bring him down.I have been taught from my parents that never feel the things which are not correct andd always oppose it if it is anti-social.As i am from india and i am hindu in our religious book called "GEETA" there is a whole thing on how to treat such a thing ,The god called krishna explains to one person-ARJUNA about it

violence wudnt always solve the problem bein quite n doin nothin is not a gud choice either shud knw wen to react n when not to..i wud advice my kids to stand up for thier principles... yet not to use violence were ever possible..

we have to teach our children to defense themselves against the evil,we can make them to learn some self confidence and good manners from the begining,if these are done,than they can stand themselves against good and evil.
