This year as we celebrate 60 years of our independence,
we are still to recover from the trauma of the bomb
blasts. I am reminded of what Mahatma Gandhi said,
"An eye for an eye will soon turn the whole
world blind."
Gandhi brought the British empire to a
speedy downfall only with his spirit of non-violence
and non-cooperation. But today in our country
and in the world, we are trying to control violence
and terrorism with more violence. In doing so,
we are creating more violence!
We have to try and solve our conflicts
through dialogue and discussion and not by the
law of the jungle, which is the survival of the
fittest. On the table of dialogue, the mouse and
the elephant should be treated equally.
-Fr. Aloysius Murzello, s.j.
