RE: [Hae-Joo] Why Millenials Such as Myself are DONE with the System For GOOD.
I have nothing new to teach the world. Truth and Non-violence are as old as the hills. All I have done is to try experiments in both on as vast a scale as I could.
- Mahatma Gandhi
Violence is never the way forward. However, injustice is a threat to justice everywhere.
Peace is not the absence of violence but the absence of systematic injustice

That's a very discerning and wise distinction to make...
Yes it seems there are two competing definitions of peace in our world.
Peace as "the period of time between bouts of violence" and peace defined as "the removal of all the reasons for violence"
Thank you for sharing xx

Very interesting character. I like your style, fellow Steemian.
Gandhi was certainly right about some things. And lord knows, we are all as crazy as he was deep down inside... He tried to live his convictions as fully and freely as he could. I can't judge a man for being himself.
And Gandhi was certainly a self-actualized and self-realized man. I wouldn't put my blind faith in him and follow him as Ghuru, but for sure would have an interesting conversation with him!
Peace and Love!
