It is a fact that all worthy feats in this world have
been performed by peaceful endeavour. No great or
noble task has ever been carried out by the power of
violence. This applies equally to scientific
discoveries and technological progress. Neither
educational institutions nor research institutes have
ever been established by violent means. Iron’s
conversion into machines and major city planning
have all been done by the power of peace, not of
violence. Right from ensuring social welfare to the
setting up of the relevant infrastructure—all
progressive measures have been carried into effect
by peaceful strategies.
Violence per se is destructive and no constructive
result can ever come from a destructive act. This is
the law of nature and as such is immutable.
