"Civilized values are not furthered if we are forced to surrender to those who are crafty and strong. In fact, being pacifists in the face of such wolves is the source of endless tragedy. Mahatma Gandhi, who elevated nonviolence into a great weapon for social change, had one simple goal later on in his life: to rid India of the British overlords who had crippled it for so many centuries."

Explanation:

I support and agree with Gandhi that the best way to counteract social abuse, mistreatment and war is with peaceful actions, the peaceful person is actually stronger and more tolerable because he seeks other alternatives to the quicker that is to generate wars and violence.

That is why I am convinced that "war generates more war, hatred and rancor, while peaceful actions generate peace and stable and lasting relationships."
