"Gandhi" once again sparked my thinking about resisting violence.
Two weeks ago, Eric was in ethics and rule of law class, and he came and asked me what legal protections I had, and I told him that I was protected by the Constitution, protected by the Women's and Children's Protection Act, but, in fact, when violence happens, Not protected by the law, law enforcement officers are just advising you to take it easy. Just 7 days ago, crying in the same place of my incompetence, completely powerless in the face of violence, unable to even protect myself. Most of the time, in the face of violence, it is like an ostrich and resigned. Even the docile sheep will have a moment of resistance, but it is useless. All resistance is futile. Shouldn't it be completely uncooperative like Gandhi did.
Gandhi led 300 million Indians to achieve national independence with such passive non-violence, which makes me doubt life. Is it really true that he will be beaten on the left and the right? Even the pastor said that it was just a metaphor, that would kill people, and the death would be very wrong. So the success of Gandhi and India is really due to the fact that non-violence has made the British imperialist government lose face? Of course not, at least not only. It is the combination of the right time, the right place and the people. Time: the end of World War II, the British military is exhausted, the geographical advantage: on India's own land, people and people: if there is no Gandhi, there will be more intense and cruel resistance and revolutionary activities, the British are just using Gandhi to suppress the Indian national sentiment to minimize losses . That is to say, the success of Gandhi's non-violence depends on the resistance and violent movements of the 300 million Indians behind him who were oppressed by poverty to the brink of life and death.
Gandhi was once asked why he adopted this self-inflicted nationalist movement. Gandhi said that revolutions come at a price, and the road is difficult and difficult. The road to equality and freedom is not easy. India is like this, the gay movement is like this, the patient of love is like this, and it is like this for an individual like me.
The enemy is ferocious, and the soldiers will take up arms and shoot the poor. No matter what they are unarmed, women and children, or kinship, they will do nothing to achieve their goals. It's not as good as a horse that doesn't trample on a person lying down.
The old Gandhi saw the civil strife of the Hindu and Muslim people, and saw the sharp contradictions among the people after he fought for it all his life, willing to sacrifice fame, fortune, and even his life for national independence, and was extremely disappointed. Under the bullet of the molecule. As he was dying, he said "Oh Rama". There was also an unspoken "Why?" and I could only join Rama with unwillingness. No matter how powerful the foreign enemy is, as long as the people are united, they can always be driven out. This is the same in companies, projects, and families. If you are in a different team, or in a team with different goals, or if you transfer the troublemaker, or leave by yourself, don’t waste your time.
