Nonviolence


Valpiana Mao - Director of 'Non-Violent Action '

The young high school and college today protested in Rome to tackle
so-called "Gelmini reforms", offered a good lesson in practical nonviolent
. Well done indeed.
The red zone of the city center was manned by police, armored
parlor in Rome and desert, while they went to
slide in the suburbs, along the highway, away from places of
power, and received the applause of passers-by (I wonder if they are aware of having given body
Capitini vision, "because from a suburban
honest, clean, non-violent, will be the resurrection of
world").

The police were in riot gear with helmets and batons
, while students showed their bare hands and whitewashed
smiling faces and open, and brought gifts and flowers to offer to
citizens (and I like to think that even in this they wanted to refer to
Capitini: "An open time to experience the festival is a celebration of
presence of all our lives, to our mind"). A joyful

eighteen, with the peace symbol painted on his face, he gave the answer
best reporters: "What do you want the government?"
"the government is not asking for anything, just go away." There is much wisdom in this idea
, nonviolence does not wait for the conquest of the palaces of
power, but exercises its influence without being in the government.
not think this young to have read "The Power of All" of
Capitini, but I know that he has grasped the profound meaning: "Everyone has to learn
that holds some power, and it's up to him to use it well, in
benefit of everyone has to learn that there is no need to handcuff anyone but
cooperating or not cooperating, he holds the weapon of consensus and dissent
. And this power has everyone, even those far away, women,
the young, the weak, if they are brave and move
looking and doing. "

The President has announced its readiness to receive a delegation of students
.
An opening undoubtedly positive. A young man sought and raised, "we urge the President
of our gathering at La Sapienza." Echoes of nonviolent thought
me is absolutely clear: we, writes Capitini, we love the assembly as a visible part of
coexistence. Capitini For the assembly
is that more than anything else resembles the reality of all: "It has, therefore
, something sacred and touching, it is a variety that leads to self
unity, and so is the primum, the presence of power.
on the assembly passes the breath of coexistence, the one called by the "
Sermon on the Mount," the assembly of the excluded, the innocent, the non-violent. "
Today young high school and college Romans have written a page
masterful that can open a new chapter and offers reasons
certainly hope for their future.

few days ago someone had written
ineffectiveness of nonviolence. there could be no better answer.
Clashes with police occurred in some other cities, appear
hours in all their grotesque nonsense. The image of angry young
that holds the bar to break the windows of the police van,
fades and gives way to a little girl smiling, holding a flower and the background
the banner "Your culture is the force,
our strength is the culture. " The way of nonviolence are endless.
