The Person in Your Path (Andre Trocme)


People tend to think of nonviolence as a choice between using
force and doing nothing. But the real choice takes place at
another level. Nonviolence is less a matter of "not killing" and
more a matter of showing compassion, of saving and
redeeming, of being a healing community. One can only choose
between doing good to the person placed in one's path, or to
do him evil. To do good is to love a person; but not to do that is
as good as killing him. To love someone is to restore that
person physically, socially, and spiritually. To neglect and
postpone this restoration is already to kill.



Peace Forever,
