Non-violence is a human value, regardless of religious faiths, beliefs, or philosophies. In fact, it sits at the baseline of qualifying values forming the humanness of the human person, which at the same time differentiates human persons from animals. Animals lack a sense of control when their needs are not met and can easily resolve to using force.
It is important that our leaders are trained to take non-violence approaches so as to help address social issues without causing communities and persons pain or make them rethink their sense of belonging. The danger of the latter is them rising up to reclaim by force what they believe is rightfully theirs.
