Fighting with Non-Violence

Peace activist Scilla says fighting violence with violence doesn't work.

In this TED talk she shares more effective ways to usher in peace.  

(Starting with changes within (our response to oppression), which requires self-knowledge.  Meditation is one of the ways to gain this inner power.)

Insightful quotes from her talk:

"My fear grows fat on the energy I feed it."

"Anger is like gasoline, ... anger in an engine is powerful."

"Last century was top down power; this century there's a shift.  It's bottom up or grass roots power.  Like mushrooms coming through concrete.  People joining up with people to bring about change."
