nonviolence is more powerful than violence
I found this very interesting:
While emphasizing that nonviolence is more powerful than violence; Dietrich Fischer – my former professor in Peace Studies recently sent me the following quotation:
“Queen Victoria and Prince Albert had a quarrel, as it
occasionally happens in a marriage. One word led to another, and
suddenly Prince Albert angrily stormed out of the bedroom, went to
his study, slammed the door and locked it. Queen Victoria ran after
him, knocked on the door and demanded, “Open!” There was no answer.
She pounded the door with her fist and shouted, “Open at once!!” No
answer. She shouted at the top of her voice, “I am the Queen of
England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland, the Empress of India and of the
entire British Commonwealth, I am the Commander-in-Chief of all the
British armed forces, and I order you hereby to open this door!!!”
Still no answer. Finally she said in a soft voice, “Albert, I am
sorry, I love you and miss you.” Now the door opened.”
Meekness is not weakness or fearfulness but strength and courage under control, coupled with kindness – an attitude of humility and gentleness toward men, springing from a recognition that God is in control.
lol….as the old saying goes…..” You Catch More Fly’s With Honey Than With Vinegar )…….works everytime.
lol. thanks Star for the reply, xxx
AMEN.
Good blog and good story. Thank you
As the pen is mightier than the sword, so is nonviolence more powerful than violence. Good blog. xxx
Thank you for your replies, nothing has never been achieved through violence , we often see emotional and physical trauma without overlooking the destruction of property.
This particular blog particularly looks at communication among people in relationships……the simple and lovely words make the sailing smooth along path of love.
Just curious, when she says that she is sorry, is she admitting that she was wrong?
It looks more like a child-parent relationship.
Woman’s wiles works all the time!!!!!!! 🙂
This is a cute story-a reminder of our equality as soon as we enter our private sanctuary-our home.Leave your attitude at the door before entering.
