PEACEFUL method in one respect, is another
name for stat us quoism. The status quoism of a
peace-loving person is not a form of inaction, it
is rather a posit ive plan of action, in the real
sense of the word. That is, the peace-love
accepts the status quo to remove himself from
the point of confrontation to other fields where
he may proceed with constructive action.
Instead of becoming embroiled in problems he
looks to the fu t ure aid directs his energies
towards the availing of opport unities. That is
why the stat us quoism of a peace-loving person
is indeed positive stat us quoism.
In this world of diverse interests, positive status
quoism is the optimal base for the conception and
implementation of constructive projects. Taking
up this position may call for special virtues such
as insightfulness as well as the capacity for the
most superior type of planning. Thus it brings
twofold benefit. Firstly, no disturbance of the
peace, and secondly and ultimately, the guarantee
of success. This formula can thus be summed up:
Avoid confrontation, adopt peaceful activism.
