Non-violence

I have been reading about various global, international, national and private levels of efforts at non-violent approaches to the prevention of violence and war, including the fact that the pre-emptive approach of the U.S. works against that approach. I find that encouraging and agree with the phrase "there is no way to peace, peace is the way". Unfortunately, as Seeger points out "From everywhere, it seems, we are bombarded with the idea that our nature is innately violent, that our chief preoccupation is with our sexuality, and that our main purpose in life is the acquirement of ever more nifty possessions. We, unquestionably, have a violent side but we also have a non-violent, loving side. I have lived and acted on each and much prefer the loving part of my nature.
