Quiz Nonviolence in Daily Life

Integrate nonviolence into your daily life.

Nonviolence is not just the absence of violence, or the refusal to cause harm, but it is much more: it is actions that come from a heart full of love, courage, forgiveness, generosity, kindness and compassion. Nonviolence is also a call not to obey inhumane laws, treaties and institutions. It is a call not to suppress anger (if it arises), but to convert it into positive action. Nonviolence is a positive force; expressed in the thoughts we have, the words we use, the things we do, the clothes we wear, the food we eat… It’s a way of life.

But how do you integrate it into your daily life? How could you act more often from non-violence as described here? Take an assessment and get ideas. Keep track of your own score.
