Quote by Mahatma Gandhi

It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence.

It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hear

Summary

This quote suggests that it is preferable to be true to one's own aggressive nature rather than adopting a faÃ§ade of nonviolence that conceals a lack of power or effectiveness. It implies that pretending to be peaceful when one truly feels violent is deceptive and diminishes one's capability to take action. This quote raises the question of whether it is more authentic or impactful to embrace one's true nature, even if it entails violence, rather than hiding behind a mask of nonviolence that masks ineffectuality.
