You Are Never Strong Enough That You

I Became A Vegetarian After Realizing That Animals Feel Afraid, Cold, Hungry And Unhappy Like We Do. I Feel Very Deeply About Vegetarianism And The Animal Kingdom. It Was My Dog Boycott Who Led Me To Question The Right Of Humans To Eat Other Sentient Beings.

...people Think Non-violence Is Really Weak And Non-militant. These Are Misconceptions That People Have Because They Don't Understand What Non-violence Means. Non-violence Takes More Guts, If I Can Put It Bluntly, Than Violence. Most Violent Acts Are Accomplished By Getting The Opponent Off Guard, And It Doesn't Take That Much Character, I Think, If One Wants To Do It.

There Are Vivid Memories From My Childhood-what We Had To Go Through Because Of Low Wages And The Conditions, Basically Because There Was No Union. I Suppose If I Wanted To Be Fair I Could Say That I'm Trying To Settle A Personal Score. I Could Dramatize It By Saying That I Want To Bring Social Justice To Farm Workers. But The Truth Is That I Went Through A Lot Of Hell, And A Lot Of People Did. If We Can Even The Score A Little For The Workers Then We Are Doing Something. Besides, I Don't Know Any Other Work I Like To Do Better Than This. I Really Don't.

You Are Never Strong Enough That You Don't Need Help.

Through Gandhi And My Own Life Experience, I Have Learned About Nonviolence. I Believe That Human Life Is A Very Special Gift From God, And That No One Has A Right To Take That Away In Any Cause, However Just. I Am Convinced That Nonviolence Is More Powerful Than Violence.
