Thanks for your response. ...@ aativas : <br />Savitadi, <br />Thanks for your response. I personally have a simple “formula” that is to differentiate between “NEEDS” and “WANTS”, ruthlessly – and wouldn’t even wish to impose on others.

However, if I have to choose between the two, I try to consciously choose non-violence, though it mostly fails to fetch in desired result. (Maybe I am not 'completely' non-violent!) <br /><br />We as citizens have to keep on trying so that the government is forced in making probably more non-violent choices through its policies. One cannot anticipate long term results - but those which are clearly violent should be avoided at all costs.<br /><br />I guess, there are boundaries to every emotion/instinct - and these boundaries keep on changing without any logic. They are too elastic. So, one has to keep on struggling with 'right and wrong' or 'less wrong and more right' all the time! The process is important and not the end result.aativashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10637505515780080897noreply@blogger.com
