The boundaries between you and other people are what prevents your spirit from connecting completely to the world around you. Today, try focusing on your commonality rather than your differences. You can acknowledge differences without letting them stand between you. Fear, isolation, and prejudice have a detrimental effect on us as individuals and societies.
Practicing nonviolence is an act of strength, not weakness. Nonviolence is much more than not harming another person physically. It means monitoring your thoughts and feelings too. Thinking hateful thoughts can have a destructive effect, and so can venting angry emotions in unhealthy ways. Challenge these thoughts and explore better ways to release anger. You may want to buy products from companies that support peace efforts too, rather than those that profit from war.
