Aivan mahtava positiivinen yllätys, että vielä neljännessäkin suurteoksessa Hararilla riittään niin paljon uutta ja tärkeää annettavaa! Ehdottoman tärkeää luettavaa kaikille poliitikoille ja kelle tahansa yhteiskunnallisista asioista ja tulevaisuudes ...more

Oikein inspiroivaa luettavaa. Hyvin kirjoitettu. Mutta tässä yksi kohta, josta olen hänen kanssaan eri mieltä.

Olen eri mieltä kun hän vertaa sotaa sateeseen kuvatessaan niin sanottujen rauhanhullujen ajattelua: “Ei ole satanut pitkään aikaan. Emmekö

Rauhaa, peace! - Pasifismin klassikoita by Jouko Väänänen
"Jokseenkin epätasainen kokoelma. Osa teksteistä on todella hyviä, arvokkaita ja ajatuksia herättäviä, osa puolestaan tunkkaisia tai huonosti käännettyjä.

Kannattaa lukea: Motsen, Dhammapadan, Henry David Thoreaun, Gandhin, Bertrand Russellin (huolimat" Read more of this review »

Mahatma Gandhi
“The enemy is fear. We think it is hate; but it is really fear.”
Gandhi

“there is a world of difference between calling something evil and calling someone evil. The first strategy mobilizes resources against the problem; the second only recycles the ultimate cause of the problem, which is ill will, resentment, lack of empathy, and eventually hatred.”
Michael N. Nagler, The Search for a Nonviolent Future: A Promise of Peace for Ourselves, Our Families, and Our World

“We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly.”
Michael N. Nagler, A Bright Future: Nonviolence and Human Evolution

Martin Luther King Jr.
“One has not only a legal, but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.”
Martin Luther King Jr., Letter from the Birmingham Jail

When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a European,
“When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a European, or anything else, you are being violent. Do you see why it is violent? Because you are separating yourself from the rest of mankind. When you separate yourself by belief, by nationality, by tradition, it breeds violence. So a man who is seeking to understand violence does not belong to any country, to any religion, to any political party or partial system; he is concerned with the total understanding of mankind.”
Jiddu Krishnamurti
