Principle six: Nonviolence believes that the universe is on the side of justice. The nonviolent resister
has deep faith that justice will eventually win. Nonviolence believes that God is a God of justice.

Principle five: Nonviolence chooses love instead of hate. Nonviolence resists violence of the spirit as
well as the body. Nonviolent love is spontaneous, unmotivated, unselfish and creative.

Principle four: Nonviolence holds that suffering can educate and transform. Nonviolence accepts
suffering without retaliation. Unearned suffering is redemptive and has tremendous educational
and transforming possibilities.

Principle three: Nonviolence seeks to defeat injustice, not people. Nonviolence recognises that
evildoers are also victims and are not evil people. The nonviolent resister seeks to defeat evil, not
people.

Principle two: Nonviolence seeks to win friendship and understanding. The result of nonviolence is
redemption and reconciliation. The purpose of nonviolence is the creation of the Beloved
Community.

I'm strongly opposed to violence, and reminded at this difficult time of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s Six Principles of Nonviolence
Principle one: Nonviolence is a way of life for courageous people. It is active nonviolent resistance to
evil. It is aggressive spiritually, mentally and emotionally.

Incorrect. The majority of Americans are horrified. The thing you have to realize is that the impact on our First Amendment rights (to free speech) is so unusual that we were hoping the courts would strike down the existential threats to disagreement.

I read Rough Sleepers by Tracy Kidder. Probably the best part of this book which covers healthcare for the unhoused in Boston was Tracy Kidder: he does the work and tells the story from an authentic, empathetic place. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/594500...

Non-fiction
I read some pretty serious nonfiction as we went into the middle of 2024. Felt pretty lost. Trying to understand what can be done with the combination of toxic populism and late stage capitalism.

Enjoying Puerto Vallarta.
