The Nonviolence Compass.
Here's some good news -- we're not asking you to become someone different than who you truly are. We're just asking you to connect -- to align your actions with your values.
How do you do this? Use your internal compass of compassion. Each of us has it inside us. For some it's been buried for a long time. But it's there. The compass points to good and to what we, as fundamentally good people, really want.
Use that compass when making choices. Who and what will this choice impact? Is there a better choice?
For example, you could buy an apple sprayed with chemicals. The chemicals were also sprayed on farm workers, wildlife, the land, and into our air and water. Or you could choose the organic apple that supports the small farmer, supports the farm workers, protects wildlife and the environment and keeps your body healthy. That’s a simple, everyday choice that when combined with the everyday choices of millions of caring people can bring about monumental positive change. Think of the combined impact of all of our everyday choices.
“Everyone has inside of him a piece of good news. The good news is that you don't know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can accomplish! And what your potential is!”
