RE: Why do we fight to change the world?

Thank you for your sincerity, Dan!

And may I ask you a question about particular aspect of non-violence?

Non-violence is well-known virtue for those who're doing yoga. I mean not just gymnastics, but yoga as it is. Ashtanga yoga means 8 steps yoga. And the first ("yama") and the second ("niyama") steps are about rules and regulations. "Ahimsa" or non-violence is just one of those rules.

So simple application of this ahimsa-principle is the refusal of eating meat and in general any food which was made through violence.

What's your opinion about this? How does vegetarianism corresponds with your idea of non-violence?

Jealously, greed, envy, malice, spitefulness, and vengeance will destroy any community.

That's exacly what I'm writing about. I just totally agree with this statement. And as for me the key point in how to educate a man in such a way that he will be free from all these defects? That's the fundament of healthy community. And that's why my life mission is to establish such schools, where a man can become free from all these defects. I believe this is the main problem.

Steem can be an incredibly powerful tool in the hands of aware individuals living in the moment, but it will utterly fail if it is overcome by unaware individuals trapped in their own ego.

Exactly!
