NO HATE NO VIOLENCE isn’t a new idea but it is a new movement. We’re convinced that over time this simple philosophy can make the U.S. and the world a much better place for all of us. What we need right now is an alternative ideology to replace the hatred that terrorists, racists, bigots, religious zealots, politicians, and so many others are mindlessly advocating. Hate is a feeling and emotion that arises from deep places in us but that everyone has the power to change, and people make a choice, a decision to be violent, which means we can make the choice to reject violence too.
In America, we are fortunate to have free speech and the freedom to believe in what we want. We can disagree with a belief and promote our own to oppose it. What we should NOT do though is promote hatred of or violence toward others to promote our beliefs.
This theory is an alternative approach to combatting terrorists, racism, hate politics, and cruel sexism. Who can logically disagree with the idea of eliminating hate and violence from our lives?
If you ask anyone if they believe in hate or violence, most would say of course not. So why then do we have so much in the world? Those who preach violence through the guise of religion and or any other organization should not receive tax deductions. Far too many other benefits are given to those who promotehratred and violence.
If you have hate in your heart, you may find others who agree with you, but the majority of your peers, friends, family, and society will not. If you espouse hatred or promote violence in this world, someone, a group, a government, a country, or all the above will always be happy to give it back to you. Violence is the least effective way to solve issues of any kind.
We all need to work on discouraging hate and violence in the world, which starts with us and our elected leaders and politicians. The more we identify with this ideology, the faster we can minimize hate and violence in the world, and the sooner we can help spread the message and have others do the same.
Human rights, especially children’s and women’s rights, need to be promoted always, and with greater commitment. The more we can eliminate, or minimize hate, the better the world will be. Some ideas will work better than others, but together we have the ability to change this ideology. It might take another hundred years to change all of this in the world and the way most people think and approach hate and violence, but every person that adopts this type of thinking will help in the fight for peace and tolerance around the world.
Also, the more you can change your attitude and eliminate any remaining Hate and Violence from your thoughts the happier you will be. Hate does not make anyone happy. If you believe in no hate no violence, scream it from the rooftops, share it with a community leader, a co-worker, your local politician. Pass it on.
This ideology belongs to people who can honestly and passionately get behind it and influence it, individuals who can develop it into policies and transform these words into action.
We may not be able to eliminate all hate or violence in this world, but together working with similar thoughts and purpose we can significantly minimize it. We can be the good guys again and create a platform from which we can work to eliminate radical terrorism and build a better world for ourselves and our children.
