We can make this a more peaceful century if we cherish non-violence and concern for others’ well-being. It is possible.

By transforming ourselves we can change our human way of life and make this a century of compassion.

If there are sound reasons or bases for the points you demand, then there is no need for violence. On the other hand, when there is no sound reason that concessions should be made to you but mainly your own desire, then reason cannot work and you have to rely on force. Thus using force is not a sign of strength but rather a sign of weakness.
Dalai Lama

On every level of human life, compassion is the key thing.
