Recognising values 1

To be able to see mutual assistance as a goal to strive for; to view others as potential collaborators; to choose cooperation as often as possible as a viable alternative to competition and individual work; an act or instance of working or acting together for a common purpose or benefit.

Inspired by the premise that all living beings have the spark of the divine spiritual energy; therefore, to hurt another being is to hurt oneself, it is personal practice of being harmless to one's self and others under every condition; is both a philosophy and strategy for social change that rejects the use of violence; it sees civil resistance as an alternative to passive acceptance of oppression or armed struggle against it; is to create a social dynamic or political movement that can create a national or international dialogue which effects social change without necessarily winning over those who wish to maintain the status quo.
