If We Want to Transform the World, We Must Engage In It

"Non-violence does not mean the mere absence of non-violence.  It is something more positive, more menaingful than that.  The true expression of non-violence is compassion, which is not a passive emotional response, but a rational stimuli to action.  To experience compassion is to develop a feeling of closeness to others combined with a sense of responsibility for their welfare."

--- The Dalai Lama (as quoted by Lama Surya Das in The Big Questions)
