Non-violent Resistance Implies The Very Opposite Of Weakness. Defiance Combined With Non-retaliatory Acceptance Of Repression From One's Opponents Is Active, Not Passive. It Requires Strength, And There Is Nothing Automatic Or Intuitive About The Resoluteness Required For Using Non-violent Methods In Political Struggle And The Quest For Truth.
