Summary

This quote suggests that only a belief in eternal values and principles can provide a rational explanation for advocating non-violence in the modern world. In a time that often prioritizes instant gratification and short-term gains, embracing a philosophy rooted in the long-term perspective of eternity can provide individuals with a moral framework conducive to practicing non-violence. Such a philosophy may emphasize the importance of cultivating lasting peace, harmony, and respect for the dignity of all beings, even when faced with conflicts or challenges.

After my father had seen me in five or six things, he said, Son, your mother and I really enjoyed your recent film, and I must say that you're a lot like John Wayne. And I said, How so?

But for a guy who watched John Wayne movies and grew up in Iowa, it's a sterling compliment.
