"....[E]ven if our protest is very strong, we have to remember that protesting may not be able to remove the fear, the anger, and the craving in those we are protesting against. Real protest is to help them wake up and take up a new direction. To do that is real action. We can do it by setting an example. You create a community of peace and true solidarity. You consume in a way that protects the planet. You speak and listen in a way that transforms anger and division. You live simply and yet you are happy. This is a radical way of peace-making. You embody good health for yourself and for the world and live in such a way that proves a future can be possible.”
